A message from the Vice-Chancellor
Since its inception in 1860 as the Lady Byron School, the University of West London has amassed a long and distinguished history of extending the reach of education to those who have been excluded from it. Built on a mission of enablement and enrichment, the University continues to evolve driven by the pursuit of three fundamental and transformative rights: inclusion, enhancement and participation.
By staying true to these founding ideals, we are now one of the leading widening participation institutions in the country where we inspire students of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds, to become smart professionals connected to exciting and rewarding careers.
To realise this mission, our courses and curriculum combine the highest standards of academic rigour supplemented by continuous input from external professionals and industry leaders. This sits alongside a guaranteed work placement for every student which forms part of a value-for-money contract between our students, stakeholders, and external partners. It is where an outstanding learning experience meets with impactful research, relevant scholarship, and the fundamentals of professional practice.
As a result, our often-courageous students join a caring and supportive educative community upheld by a fully integrated Students’ Union rooted in high quality state of the art physical and digital resources.
Driven by the values of accessibility, affordability, diversity, transparency and accountability, we continue to provide life-changing opportunities to each and every student regardless of their age or background. This in turn shapes and transforms the lives of their families and those around them. It is this assemblage together with a vibrant mix of students from more than 120 different nationalities that makes the University distinctively meritocratic.
With a number of accolades that highlight our achievements towards these ends, the University’s vision continues to be compelling: to be an inspiring, inclusive and impactful institution that is committed to making our country more prosperous, open and just.
Our HR and OD teams are instrumental in bringing in and nurturing the talent that realises our ambitions and underpins our achievements.
