what our students say
Olga Prisich
Data Science and Analytics MSc - 2021
My favourite part of the course was learning and applying new knowledge in practice. The assignments were focused on actual business problems, and I was able to not only strengthen my theoretical knowledge, but also to understand the applications of the methods from data analytics and machine learning in the industry.
Mehdi Zidani
Data Science and Analytics BSc Honours - 2023
The lecturers are very accessible and responsive. They’re only an email away if you ever have any questions and they respond within a reasonable time frame. In addition to lectures and seminars, the academic staff offer dedicated one-to-one meetings with students if and when they need them. I’ve seen lecturers leading modules with over 300 students and they still make the time to answer everyone’s questions.
Najeeb Anwar Tareen
Cyber Security and Forensics (FT) MSc - 2022
The student facilities and campuses spread around central London and Harrow are excellent. The courses are practical and tailored to the industry. Not to forget the fantastic social life you can create here while studying with other like-minded people. Graduating from the University of Westminster feels different in a very good way!
