What our students say

Elisa Hernandez Biffa

Digital Media BA

I love how different the teaching has been compared to how it is in my country. I feel like I have a voice and what I say really matters. As an Erasmus student, I’ve felt welcome and part of the Westminster community. To be a Westminster student is an experience that I will never forget.

Peter Kabwe

Digital Media and Production BA - 2026

I have enjoyed the practical aspect of the course; I like the fact that we are able to practice what we are being taught in the real world. We have been able to gain interviewing skills and other creative and practical skills needed to create content for digital media.

Tereza Tomanova

Multimedia Journalism (Broadcast) MA - 2020

Westminster was a massive confidence boost. Once I completed my studies, I felt I had the necessary experience to go into the real world. Before I started the course, I was not sure what to expect. My course managed to simulate the real world and newsroom so well that I knew I had it in me to be a good journalist.
