What makes our Business and Management courses different and how do we support our students to become work-ready graduates? This blog will reveal five reasons why you should choose the University of Westminster for your business degree.
1. Shape your degree to fit your interests and ambitions
Our Business Management courses are highly flexible and give you the chance to tailor your degree to suit your interests and career aspirations – even if these change as your course progresses.
This means that no matter what Business Management pathway you have applied for, you’ll have the opportunity to change specialisms at the end of your first year.
2. Graduate with more than just a degree
At Westminster, we promote a real-world experience that will give you the skills, connections and knowledge to forge the career you want by preparing you for the future.
Our Business and Management courses will give you the opportunity to gain invaluable experience through work-based learning, get industry experience on a year-long work placement and take on a new challenge by embarking on a study abroad as part of your degree.
Studying abroad is an excellent opportunity to broaden your horizon, gain international experience valued by potential employers and make new friends from all over the world – and with 86 exchange partners across 22 countries, you’ll have plenty of places to choose from!
You’ll also have the opportunity to learn a foreign language while you study through our Polylang programme, with eight languages to choose from and levels ranging from beginner to advanced.
3. Study in the heart of London
London has been ranked the best student city in the world, and our location means there are so many more adventures and discoveries for you to make outside of the classroom.
Studying Business and Management at Westminster Business School means you’ll be taught at our Marylebone Campus, just moments away from both Regent’s Park and Marylebone High Street.
Few cities can compete with London for its vibrant culture, limitless opportunities and world-renowned entertainment, but our Central London location means that you’ll also benefit from an array of businesses, work experience and networking opportunities right on your doorstep.
4. Build your network and make connections around the world
Westminster is one of the UK’s most diverse and internationally connected universities, with over 19,000 students from more than 160 countries – meaning you’ll graduate with friends and peers from around the world.
You’ll be exposed to industry practitioners, with many of our Business and Management courses hosting regular guest lecturers from industry professionals, such as previous speakers from IBM, Coca Cola, LinkedIn and Tableau.
Through our Careers and Employability Service, you’ll also have access to a network of over 3,000 global employers, which will help you to explore and connect with exciting opportunities whilst starting to build your professional network.
5. Equality and diversity is at the heart of what we do
The University of Westminster is dedicated to helping students from all backgrounds achieve their potential. We are proud to have recently been ranked 2nd across all English universities for the proportion of students from lower-income families who go on to have well-paid careers.
We are also incredibly proud of our culture of inclusivity and want to ensure all of our students go on to positive next steps after graduating.
