Westminster Law School/.... A let down. 06/11/2007

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Central Location, Diversity ammong students, Modernised buildings and facilities
Disadvantages Staff, Organisation, Union, Accomodation, Support

I have just started a first year Law degree course at the Regents Campus and am thoroughly disappointed by most aspects of the University. The teaching staff are generally unhelpful and unenthusiastic. One tutor in particular shouts at us for one hour a week regardless of our efforts and then consistently asks us if we 'feel humiliated yet.' My personal tutor is only available 2 hours a week, and by appointment only. Lectures and tutorials are badly organised. There are regular problems with the power-points, print outs, staff absence etc: Which only acts to further confuse what is a pretty ... more

The Harrow Campus: Fashion, business and media 15/02/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Dynamic course with personal tutoring, top range industry contact
Disadvantages Harrow is not so great, student union is rubbish

INTRODUCTION I studied BA Hons Fashion Merchandise Management from 2001-2005. It was a business based sandwich course with a year out in the industry and was based on the Harrow campus. The University of Westminster has 4 campuses around London: Baker Street, Marylebone, Cavendish and Harrow. This review is on the Harrow Campus only. THE COURSE The course I studied was based in both the Business school and Creative Industries School as it encompassed both. There were pros and cons to this. That, combined with the fact that when I started the course it was only in its 3rd year running ever ... more

A little pot of gold... 19/09/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages Community feeling and dedicated highly qualified lecturers
Disadvantages Campus is somewhat spread out over Central London

I was a mature student when I attended what was then the Polytechnic of Central London. An perhaps more than students straight from school, I was feeling the pressure. I needn't have worried. The staff took me by the hand, spoon fed me information and learning, methods until I was full. I came away with my first degree, 2.1 honours in Social Science. It was probably the proudest mpoment of my life. I chose this college because it was small and because they had a modular degree that had a "Carousel" system for the first 12 weeks that would let me sample all the disciplines I was interested in ... more

Move out of London 28/07/2000

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages In London
Disadvantages Unenthusiastic staff, little support from tutors

My experience of the University of Westminster when it was formerly PCL (Polytechnic of Central London) was dire, perhaps this was because I was on a part time course commuting into Paddington? I don't know whether the facilities have improved, I found the teaching staff depressed, lacking enthusiasm, and under a lot of stress. Also many members of staff were part time often without degree level qualifications. If the students weren't forced by employers to commute into London they were probably from London itself, some of whom would have been better off commuting out of London. The University ... more

University? 24/04/2009

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages location
Disadvantages quality of teaching, University ranking, staff, culture

I would not recommended this Uni, and would definitely think twice before spending or going into dept to get a degree from Westminster University. Getting the right degree from a good University these days is very important and Westminster University cannot provide it (again based on my experience). Below some general thoughts after attending business related degree from that University. I have graduated with business degree. Very low level of teaching. I have started similar degree outside the UK, where level of teaching in secondary school could be more intellectually challenging than ... more
