Description

University of Westminster is divided into four campuses with 23,000 students. The University of Westminster has three superb campuses in central London and a fourth at a purpose-built green field site in Harrow, northwest London. Every campus has its own individual character and is home to a significant international student body, its own library and catering facilities. The central campuses are in central London, just a short distance from many famous London landmarks, such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye, Tate Modern and the British Library.

Course offerings include business, computer science, education, health/human services, humanities, law, government, media and design and more. Semester internships and graduate programs are also available.

Highlights

For many, London is Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and red double-decker buses. For API students, London is an international center of fine arts, design and theater, technology, ideas, politics and finances that has inspired creativity and cutting-edge innovation for centuries. With a cosmopolitan population of 7.2 million people, London is the largest city in Western Europe and the ideal backdrop for studying business, social sciences, humanities, education, science, art, design, fashion and communication at some of the world's most distinguished universities. Business internships are also available to qualified semester or academic year students for credit.
