Community Partners
The University of Westminster is committed to providing high-quality education for students from diverse backgrounds. Its exceptional global reputation is highlighted by its ranking in the top 20 in the UK and the top 30 globally for hosting international students. The university proudly boasts a vibrant student body, with 48% comprising students from around the world, underscoring its dedication to fostering a diverse and international community.
DEN has a clear focus on nurturing the next generation of global citizens and professional leaders. DEN emphasises providing comprehensive support and guidance to students, encouraging them to make a positive impact. Additionally, DEN actively promotes inclusive and socially responsible learning and working environments, creating a supportive and empowering atmosphere for all. DEN has proactively engaged with local communities and colleges in London as part of its efforts. These collaborations have strengthened connections between students, local communities, and international partners, providing enriching opportunities for all involved.
DEN believes that global citizens should also engage with their local communities, and hence we develop partnerships with several organisations in London to strengthen the university’s work in its local community. We aim to engage our students, to develop their understanding of history, politics and social condition, as well as their skills to manage and communicate in a real and meaningful situation.
