University of Westminster

About

Established as London’s first polytechnic in 1838, the University of Westminster offers a vibrant learning environment and provides educational opportunities to people regardless of their background, supporting them to develop skills, knowledge and expertise.

The University ranks second for social mobility among English universities, according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Sutton Trust, and is in the top 13% of universities globally for its work on contributing to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs).

Global engagement, employability and sustainability are key elements in the University’s vision for the future.
