The University of Westminster has a rich history, providing students with academic excellence, cultural engagement and personal enrichment since its inception as Britain's first polytechnic in 1838.

Today the University has approximately 20,000 students hailing from every continent and spanning a wide range of disciplines. There is a strong focus on diversity, global engagement and inspiring future professionals, in which the University is committed to promoting effective and efficient support. The University of Westminster currently has 1700+ students across its four sites who have disclosed a disability.

Applicants must demonstrate drive and commitment to ensuring that the University meets its commitments to equality of access, success and progression.
