Welcome to Westminster University - UK
About The University of Westminster :
Sustainable is one of the University’s core values: Green thinking is at the heart of all we do. Our common goal is to respect the planet and we’re committed to sustainable practices, both on the global stage and in our own working environment.
Westminster University aim to manage our operations in ways that are environmentally sustainable, economically feasible and socially responsible through all our activities including infrastructure development and our influence and effects on the wider community.
Tackling climate change through carbon emission reductions is our key priority.
Flagship projects in 2009 & 2010:
• Westminster University became a 10:10 University in September 2009 when we joined the national 10:10 carbon reduction campaign as one of the first universities in the country.
• Westminster University launched the Degrees Cooler project as part of the national, Defra funded two-year project, led by National Union of Students. Degrees Cooler comprises Green Impact (a staff behaviour change campaign) and Go Green (student led environmental campaigning).
• Westminster University have benchmarked our corporate social responsibility performance in two consecutive years against other UK universities through the Universities That Count survey.
Schools And Colleges :
Westminster Business School : Westminster Business School has a long history of providing business education for undergraduates and management education for practitioners and professionals. Our vision is to be London’s leading professionally-focused and research-informed business school.
The School was founded in 1997, but our origins go back even further to the 1970s. Westminster Business School is now embarking on an exciting new phase of development. In 2009 we combined with the former Harrow Business School, and now provide higher education for 4,000 students, a quarter of whom are studying for postgraduate degrees. We draw a sizeable proportion of our students from overseas, while at the same time focusing upon providing business and management education for UK students entering the business professions and also for those returning to undertake postgraduate study to further their careers.
The School of Life Sciences : The School of Life Sciences is situated on the Cavendish Campus of the University of Westminster, a purpose-built and architecturally distinctive site located in central London, ten minutes from Oxford Street and next to the BT Tower.
The School of Life Sciences, and the Cavendish Campus in general, have benefited from a major programme of refurbishment work reflecting a commitment of over 30 million from the University to this campus alone resulting in the provision of state-of-the-art facilities within the School.
The School of Life Sciences has 123 academic staff providing 20 undergraduate and 22 postgraduate courses to more than 2,000 students. The School also has a thriving research culture with over 30 students registered for PhDs. Our active research and postgraduate programmes also ensure that undergraduate students are in close contact with the cutting edge of applied scientific knowledge.
The School of Electronics and Computer Science : The School of Electronics and Computer Science offers programmes of study and research ranging from electronic engineering and computer science, to applied mathematics.
We offer both mainstream and specialist, undergraduate and postgraduate courses that are designed to meet both the career and personal aspirations of our students. Our state-of-the-art short courses and continual professional development (CPD) programmes directly serve the evolving needs of industry.
Research
Staff in the School are based in 6 specialist departments, they are leaders in their subject area, and are experienced in the technologies and applications within their field.
The needs of students are a high priority for the School. All our courses are modular, offering flexibility for those wishing to switch between full-time and part-time study, or allowing students to customise their programme of study.
Our courses prepare students for professional working life, and provide graduates with technical knowledge and practical skills that meet the needs of industry, research or further study. Our courses address the fundamental principles, technologies and processes, and their application to the solution of practical problems, through the design, construction, maintenance and disposal of ICT artefacts. They also provide students with an appreciation of the relevance of electronic engineering, mathematics and computer science to industry and society at large.
Courses in the School of Electronics and Computer Science provide comprehensive coverage of the subject of informatics (electronic and software engineering, network computing, information systems and applied mathematics) and its application to engineering, business, and the creative industries.
