A large university with a strong communications program

As one of the biggest universities in the UK, with a high volume of international students, the University of Westminster offers a large variety of classes and departments to visiting students, including creative writing, business, criminology, marketing, STEM, and English. The highly recognized school of Media, Arts, and Design offers state-of-the-art equipment and technologies for the study of media, communications, art and design, photography, fashion, film, music, and journalism. Westminster’s course flexibility with visiting students means that it may be a good program option if you want to explore different subject areas. Additionally, Westminster’s mission features a deep commitment to global initiatives, along with links to industry, toward the goal of ensuring academic, personal, and professional success for every student.
