University of Westminster

Graduating from Westminster this November

congrats! hows ur experience from these 3 years?

I was on the media course, other department experience may be different.
Hope it helps though. I hope I havn't put anyone off, but it's my own personal experience, changes are always made in the ways modules are taught. But in our department (Media) theres been big changes for students that started last year, and are going to start this year. I've had a look at the modules, and they are different to what I've done, but these changes in my opinion are better and I wish they had made these changes when I started...lol


anyway think I've written enough...want to know more, just ask...

I think they allow you to choose your preference and put them in a rank order - they then try and allocate you to the halls that you have chosen as best they can - it goes by how far you live from central London etc. - the sooner you get your application in the better the chance you have of getting in to your first choice halls.

Even if you don't make your first choice or if you applied very late - you can always go on to a reserve list - so if someone leaves early or decides not to take a place up at the last minute - you can get in this way too.

A good tip would be to visit each area the halls are in - this will give you a better idea of how easy it is to get to and from lectures/nights out etc. Though I think all the halls are in brilliant locations and no more than 20 minutes via tube (you can walk to each campus in probably 30 - 40 minutes and see all the sites of central London) - Marylebone and Harrow are right on campus (so very convenient) but like you said Furnival is in a brilliant place.

I've been to Wigram House, in Victoria (which was brilliant by the way and five minutes from Scotland Yard, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament - in a really upmarket area) but it seems that, according to Cherry BB (another Westminster student on the forums) that they have changed this to postgraduates only now - which I think, is a shame.

Hi C_D, I'm an Aussie who's applying for exchange to Westminster University because I'm currently studying Media (Journalism) and thought the uni was a brilliant fit for that. I obviously can't visit any of the accommodation halls personally so I can only go on what I see and read on the internet, and I am torn between picking Marylebone Hall or Alexander Fluming.

A very big priority for me is the location; I'll only be in London for six or so months and I ADORE the nightlife and the city buzz, so I want to live as close to everything as possible. For these reasons I am currently leaning towards Marylebone (the fact Harrow Campus is less than a 20 minute tube ride away is also a huge pro) however going by the pics on the uni's site it appears as though the rooms there are significantly smaller (not to mention significantly dearer!) than the rooms at Alexander Fluming. I mean, it could just be a bad angle, but that's what it looks like. Would you be able to clarify this situation for me, or do you not know? Thanks

Basically, I'm thinking about Westminster as a university choice..pretty much any good university in London! I'm in my lower sixth year, next years my last however we start applying to universities next year so I'm starting to consider my options now.
I'm thinking about either fashion merchandising management as a course at this uni, or else public relations (mass media, etc). However, I've heard it's incredibly hard to get into the university..so if anyone has any helpful advice, questions or information, fire away. Thanks!

I chose Westminster and I am really happy with it.) It has much more advantages than Kingston or Royal Holloway!

So what about the scholarship offered in Wmin?I don understand how my tutor has to make a comment on my financial situation? In my country it is not common my teachers or anyone else to know about the financial situation in my family.So I find this very odd..

If you can clarify this to me I will appreciate it much
