What our students say
Ngun Thomas
Global Trade and Business BA - 2023
Studying at Westminster, I discovered practical information is valued more highly than textbook learning when studying in the UK. You will be able to develop critical thinking, analytical abilities and creative talents in your field of study.
Filippo Rizzi
Business Management (Economics) BA Honours - 2022
I have highly enjoyed the Business Management (Economics) BA as it provided me with a good understanding of the main areas of business. I particularly enjoyed the way the modules are taught: attending the various seminars after class helps students to clarify concepts and ideas.
Fernanda Goncalves da Silva
Economic Policy and Analysis MSc - 2022
Studying at the University of Westminster has been a life-changing experience, both personally and professionally. The course has provided me with a far more sophisticated understanding of macroeconomic policy and valuable technical econometrics skills.
