    Hi,

    I have an unconditional offer for Contemporary Media Practice at Westminster, but still wait for an answer from Goldsmith.

    I also thought that it has one of the best UK departments for media studies (maybe even second in place after Royal Holloway) and am really surprised now that their are so few post here about Westminster.

    Ain't there anybody around here who can tell something about it?

    Cheers

    Oh, somebody at least

    Well, if they told you anything about the university, its facilities, teachers, if they're still happy to be there etc., espececially if they're in a media related course...some opinions from wmin students would be cool!

    Well to help everyone out, here are some links regarding Westminster; I've managed to find out lots of research on this university - very impressed with the media/arts/fashion side of things and it's up and coming in all other departments also. You could look at some of the links and possibly Private Message some of the students who do attend Westminster or are thinking of doing so in the following threads:

    As for Media related stuff - you must have had a look at the Westminster journalism page:

    The video on the Westminster journalism site is very impressive I think:

    Hey guys, I'm currently finishing my first year at the University of Westminster, I study Marketing Communications at the Harrow Campus, which is where many media courses are based.

    The university offers modern facilities for media students including tv and photographic studios and it's definitely my favourite campus because of it's unusual layout.

    So far I'm really enjoying it and the 4,000 computers and 24/7 libraries definitely help with preparing for exams!

    I hope this was of use! Good luck!
