IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER PARTNERSHIP
London, England
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and one of the most popular study abroad destinations. A sophisticated city with endless cultural, historic, artistic, political, and intellectual offerings, it’s also home to many universities scattered throughout different neighborhoods. London’s excellent public transportation system will take you easily from your housing to classes and anywhere else you want to go. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airports make traveling throughout the UK and Europe a snap.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
As a university founded in 1836 to provide education to working people of all backgrounds, it makes perfect sense that Westminster has launched a slew of award-winning initiatives that raise cultural awareness and advance gender equality.
Winner of the EcoCampus Gold Award, the university’s four campuses offer options galore. Pursue topics ranging from art to business and check out unique London Studies options like Photography in London and Black London: Black History in London from Tudors to Today. Add a future-building internship in business, fine arts, communications, science, or social science. Take a break to hang out by the Thames or discover anime, netball, and more through one of many student groups.
Your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities that give you deeper insights into UK culture, with no extra fees. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.

Student Life
If you want to truly experience the thrill of London, consider the University of Westminster. Located in central London, this university of 22,700 is just a short distance from the busy shopping and theatre districts. You'll find an incredibly diverse student population that includes a significant number of Americans.
Get to know your fellow students by joining a society or sports team, or attend the balls, concerts, and other events sponsored by the student union. The university has great facilities; Jimi Hendrix played his first London concert in what is now a Westminster library! Housing
Most students live in one of the five Westminster halls of residence scattered across the city. Your commute to one of Westminster's four campuses may be a short as ten minutes or as long as forty-five minutes. Courses
Westminster's large size allows for a huge range of courses. The university also permits study in up to four departments, which will help you build a flexible schedule that meets your graduation requirements. The course selections in business are outstanding, and the social science program is extensive. The excellent School of Media, Arts, and Design is located on the modern campus in Harrow, just north of London. | | Program Information
