If you are considering studying an architecture course at the University of Westminster, we’re excited for you to start your journey with us. We want to make your transition to student life as easy as possible, so in this article, we’ve outlined some of the key facts about us.
Our superb location – right at the heart of the architecture scene
Our School of Architecture and Cities is based in central London, home to some of the most stunning buildings and museums in the world. This means you will have plenty of opportunities to get the most out of the city and use London as your drawing board.
Different routes and career paths
The school offers a range of courses in areas of architecture, design, planning, transport, tourism and events. Our students, academics and tutors share a common passion and interest in city developments and the urban experience in all of its forms. This includes where we live, work and spend our leisure time and how we move around in these spaces.
As part of the school, you’ll be exposed to a range of different subjects and interests, and will have access to a range of routes through your studies and into the world of work. Many of our students go on to future careers as architects, but many more work in consultancies, with local government, and in private practices in fields as varied as hospitality and events, infrastructure management, airlines and airports, and career pathways allied to construction and development.

Here is what some of our students say about us:
The unique combination of the courses
“I visited a wide range of universities across the UK and spent hours searching which course was the best fit for me. When I visited the University of Westminster, I knew it was the one for me. The unique combination of the course connects evidence-based design with the poetic and artistic nature of architecture. Additionally, the passion that the tutors showed when presenting the course, gave me so much hope and motivation for my future career.” – Giancarlo Albarello, BSc Architecture & Environmental Design student

Designed to prepare you for your future career
“The University of Westminster offers a wide range of opportunities and digital programmes. They are all designed to help students prepare for their future careers. The University also offers a unique module that requires you to go to a physical construction site which is really interesting. Most universities do not offer that at this early stage.” – Nedal Harris Ghosheh, BA Architecture student

You’ll get to work in our outstanding facilities
“Having the opportunity to study in the incredible studios on a diverse range of briefs has been an incredible experience. The course is very diverse and has excellent facilities such as the Fab Lab, an area where students can build models for their projects with some of the best machines, support and technology available.” – Joshua Dalsan, Architecture BA student

A supportive and nurturing environment
“Having dyslexia means I need more support than most. I found that the University and especially my tutors have really helped me to cope and I’m really grateful for that. I’ve been able to use my own personal software to help me understand emails with handouts. I’ve also been given extra time to get longer writing tasks done.” – Imran Haque, BA Architecture student
