Program Overview
Westminster Business School is a major provider of high quality business education located in the heart of London. The business school has approximately 4,000 students pursuing a wide range of general and specialist qualifications at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Courses are taught by more than 120 staff members plus a large number of visiting lecturers and experts drawn from the London business community. The school is highly cosmopolitan, reflecting London’s demographic diversity and its role as a host to visitors from around the world. A third of Westminster’s full-time students come from abroad, and every year the school welcomes hundreds of visiting exchange students from continental Europe, the United States, Australia, and Japan. Westminster’s staff is increasingly international, welcoming visiting scholars and researchers from many countries.Summer Program
The WBS summer school program is not available as an exchange program. Students will enroll, on a direct enroll basis. Please see the summer budget sheet (above) for estimated costs.
Location
The University of Westminster is located at London’s center, situated in the well-known West End. Within a few minutes one can be sitting at a street café, browsing through secondhand book shops on Charing Cross Road, or shopping at the elegant Regent and Bond Streets. Oxford Street, which is London’s busiest shopping center, is also just around the corner from the University’s Regent Street building. London is a city of culture and arts. One can enjoy several museums and galleries, take in world renowned theater performances, or watch the street theater in Covent Garden. Along with New York and Tokyo, London is one of the three most important hubs of the global economy and, within Westminster itself, lies the Houses of Parliament—the seat of British Government.

Living Arrangements
The University of Westminster offers two housing options for international students. Please keep in mind that housing at WBS is very limited, so you should be prepared to find off-campus housing.
University Accommodations
Accommodation is in the form of single study bedrooms, in a range of University halls of residence across London. All the halls are self-catering with fully fitted shared kitchens and communal areas. A range of hot and cold meals is available at reasonable prices from the refectories and cafes in the University's teaching buildings. All the halls of residence have 24 hours security and resident tutors responsible for student welfare. They are all well served by public transport. Whichever hall you live in you will have a chance to meet students from different disciplines, backgrounds and cultures, enhancing the whole Study Abroad experience. As a resident, you need to provide your own bedding, cutlery and crockery (this can be bought cheaply locally). A receptionist normally staffs the halls during the day and a security guard at night.
Private Rented Accommodations
Many international students choose to live in privately rented accommodation. The University provides free help and advice once you have arrived. Privately rented accommodation is plentiful in London, but the search for the right place will probably take you a few days.
