About
History
The University of West London draws on a heritage of over 150 years in teaching and professional education.
From the outset, the University has played, and continues to play, a significant role in the educational, cultural and economic life of its region.

Our students will get the chance to study using state-of-the-art facilities and develop in realistic working environments, eg hospitals, recording studios and laboratories.
Research
Research at the University of West London spans a broad range of fields across the arts, STEM, health, education and more. We focus on research that has an impact on real-world problems, drawing on our close ties with businesses and industry as well as the expertise of our staff.
We have built up particular specialisms in the following seven areas. Each of our Research Centres is staffed by experts with an enviable record of publications, conferences, media and public engagement work in their chosen fields.

Career
One of the things students will learn from the Careers Service is that completing a degree is just the start of building a CV that engages potential employers. A degree is important but you need to complement that with extracurricular activities and work experience.
For many students the Careers Service played a crucial role in helping them prepare for their careers. Our graduates have recently secured jobs with Microsoft, the Foreign Office, Deloitte and IBM, to name a few.

Everyone wants a new experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The university has helped me a lot to increase my study skills in all the fields of hospitality and have given me experience in writing perfect journal articles that helped me to increase my english.
My time at UWL
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The overall experience of studying at UWL was very good. I really liked our library with a huge range of available resources. Unfortunately, my course was not one of the greatest. The COVID-19 pandemic spoiled a lot of our time, but I am sure that it would have been much better otherwise. The uni is clean, very professional and I like the sense of the family around you.
My time at UWL
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The whole university feel was amazing at UWL. However, my course was not the best and that is why I want to extend my studies and go and widen my knowledge and my possibilities.
