Location and academic profile
The University is based in the heart of one of the UK’s most successful business regions (west London) and operates out of three main sites: St Mary’s Road and Uxbridge Road in Ealing, and Paragon House in Brentford. We also offer Nursing and Midwifery education from our Berkshire Institute of Health in Reading.
We are growing our reach with the acquisition of the Drama Studio London and Ruskin College, Oxford. Ruskin College has a similar mission and a matching set of values to the University, and by bringing it into our purview we intend to continue its long history of providing education to those who have traditionally been marginalised.
Working with local chambers of commerce and local employers (including the NHS), the University aims to capitalise on these powerful connections with key industries and its wealth of experience in a number of mainly vocational disciplines by delivering a demand-led curriculum. To enable this, the University is structured into the following ten academic Schools and Colleges which bring together cognate subject areas and are responsible for ensuring that they deliver an appropriate curriculum and develop new areas in response to student, societal and industry requirements:
- The Claude Littner Business School
- College of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare
- Institute for Policing Studies
- London College of Music
- London Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism
- London School of Film, Media and Design
- School of Medicine and Biosciences
- School of Computing and Engineering
- School of Human and Social Sciences
- School of Law
In addition, the University has plans to expand provision in Medicine and to open dedicated schools of dentistry and pharmacy. These academic Schools and Colleges are supported by 19 professional services, including Human Resources and Organisational Development.
Impact 2028
The University of West London is moving into a bold and exciting future guided by an ambitious strategic plan; Impact 2028.
The aspirations laid out in this plan are within our reach, fuelled by our standing as the nation’s fastest-rising university and our commitment to student success and research productivity.
This plan charts our course until 2028 (or change to) for the next three years and positions UWL as a powerful engine of prosperity, one that prioritises: lifelong learning, impactful research, access, inclusion, sustainability, and the ever-important digital ecosystem.
In recent years we have gained national recognition for the quality of the student experience and the social mobility that accrues from it. We have also gained a reputation for research productivity and innovation and as a result, we have become a destination of choice for a diverse body of students and staff.
