In the vibrant city of London, the University of Westminster boasts a student body that reflects its diversity. At the heart of DEN’s mission is the establishment of strong connections between students, their local community, and international partners. To achieve this, we actively foster collaboration between students and staff, cultivating meaningful connections that transcend geographical boundaries. In addition to DEN’s local outreach projects, we have developed interdisciplinary modules that seamlessly integrate local and global educational components. Our proud partnerships with local communities, international organisations and international universities serve to cultivate a global perspective among our colleagues and students. Furthermore, we provide diverse career-relevant internships that empower students to engage with the world beyond their immediate vicinity.
