I’d do it all again
I generally love Westminster, I completed both my BA and MA degrees there. I would definitely recommend Westminster if you are interested in Media Studies. This university sets high standards when it comes to learning how the media work.
Review of the Uni of Westminster
The course provides a good overall understanding of the fashion business, covering everything from buying and merchandising to visual merchandising and promotion. The placement year and university industry links are excellent, helping students find great opportunities after graduation.
2/5
Computer Network Security Student Review
The overall academic is quite poor - there are a few exceptions from that, but the number of good lectures is so small. We complained multiple times (providing strong evidence) about poor quality teaching, unethical and unprofessional behaviour and practices from some teachers and the university administration did absolutely nothing!
