Course Curriculum
10
- My course curriculum was more practical, with a lot of work for actual companies and startups.
- It had some field trips and many external lectures from people who work at companies like microsoft, nike etc.
- In my course there are an average of 130-150 students; 80% of students are only UK based students but 20% are international from countries like india, pakistan, china, japan, spain, USA, etc. There are not many students in my course of BA management marketing but there are many more students in BA management
Admission Experience
- I applied to 5 other universities besides the University of Westminster; they all rejected me as my grades were not enough. those universities were queen mary, cardiff, birmingham, exeter and manchester university. They rejected me, as i did not receive enough grades to get in. I was left with no choice but to apply to the clearing choice of the University of Westminster, as it was in central london, I really wanted to go there. So finally, I got my offer and got accepted.
- The University of Westminster was in central London, which is why I applied to this university.
- It was one of the few choices I was left with, as it was the only university offering clearing spaces. My admission process was made easier thanks to my university agent, who helped me throughout the entire journey. As I was left with only a few choices to apply for university, I applied to the University of Westminster, as it was in central London, offering many opportunities to international students and promoting workplace opportunities.
- The admission process was to apply through UCAS clearing and then wait for their decision after submitting the marksheet of the final grades of your high school (12th grade).
- Since I went to international baccalaureate school, I did not have to give IELTS, but since covid was upon us, I did give the Duolingo english exam.
- My overall admission process was full of ups and downs; I faced many rejections and a lot of negativity, but in the end I pulled through and was able to come out of the other end. I applied to the September 2022 intake, as I graduated from high school in june of the same year.
- My admission process was long and I was confused and did not have any idea how to select my university or where I should go. I got some help from my parents but not much. I got my grades from IB on 6th july 2022. after that I had a lot of rejections from different universities, as I did not meet the grade criteria. In the end I applied to Westminster in the clearing category by 10th july. After that I received the acceptance and got myself accepted and went to london in September 2022.
Faculty
10
- The student-to-faculty ratio is 6 to 1, so for every 6 students, there is a staff member available. This ratio definitely affects the quality of education for a lot of students, as sometimes professors don't have enough time for all the students to get feedback on their coursework, which makes it difficult for the students to get better grades than they deserve.
- The professors help the students find jobs but in the end, students can only ask them to get a letter of recommendation for their master's degree or job.
- Most of my professors are very good but my personal tutor has helped me navigate the post university life so I am very grateful to him
Campus Life
8
- My university has 5 campuses.
- All campuses are equipped with facilities like libraries, sports centres, gyms coffee shops and student unions and centres.
- Many campus festivals include the welcome fair and sports days.
- Many extracurricular activities exist on and off campus; you can take part in student union jobs, work on campus bars, work as student ambassadors, start a society or join an existing one.
Part Time Jobs
- Many students land TA, RA or DA gigs, usually those who’ve kept on top of their studies or have some relevant experience. Anyone can expect to earn around the living-wage mark for these roles. There are also spots like library helper, student ambassador, IT support or event crew on campus, all paying roughly the same. International students can work up to the usual part-time limit during term (about 20 hours a week). The pay range for these roles is typically between £11 and £14 per hour. It can feel a bit competitive, but if a student polishes up their CV and keeps an eye on the uni job board, they will be just fine.
-
Students typically earn between £10.50 and £13 per hour in part-time jobs. Part-time work usually pays close to the going rate for entry roles, so not too bad for students. Finding a job is not easy but not too difficult either in London, whether it’s on campus or in cafés, shops and so on. The process is kind of straightforward: scout openings on sites like Indeed or the uni portal, tailor your CV, hit submit, and then chat through an interview (in person or online). Going to career fairs or networking events can give you that extra edge, too.
Placement
8
- Most of the students at the University of Westminster find a job within about half a year of graduating so that’s a good chunk of the cohort. Starting salaries are pretty healthy for new grads. Students at westminster also land roles through internships, LinkedIn connections, career fairs and the odd campus recruitment drive.
- My friends have landed jobs in marketing, consulting, data analytics and project management at big names and smaller outfits alike. It’s a nice mix of well-known firms and up-and-coming startups.
Accommodation
Off Campus
8
- I found my accommodation from the official university website.
- Otherwise, the amber student is a very good platform for finding the best university accommodations. Also, its best to find a reputable website for the london’s accommodations because it is very difficult to find a good place in london.
- I did not really have any challenges when finding good accommodation because I had started my search early.
- Just look fast and book or reserve your accommodation early in order to make sure you are safe. I live on campus essentially so it's just a 1-minute walk to the campus. Most indian students in london, live in wembley park.
Exams
- Only an LOR and statement of purpose were required to fill out during the application process of the University of Westminster.
- The statement of purpose was given to UCAS and was written by me. The letter of recommendation was given by my school teachers at my high school.
- There was no interview of my university. I did not have anything else to do with the subject of admission except the application form and statement of purpose.
Fees
- The fee is charged on a yearly basis. My full course fees per year were £14,400. It was charged every semester.
- My accommodation was inside the university, and it was £220-240 per week. Every month my monthly expenses were £200-300, including travelling, food and other expenses.
- I did not have many transportation expenses, as I lived inside the university, which is why it was easier for me to get to university and other places in central london.
Scholarship
- No, I did not receive any scholarship.
- I don't have any idea about scholarships by westminster.
- I did, however, have a cost of living crisis in the UK, which is why the university used to give us students an off grant of £500 during some semesters. That grant was to help us through rent, transportation and other expenses.
- I also used to work during my downtime in order to support myself and my expenses
