    My sister studied here also I grew up in Ealing.. based on what I’ve seen and heard plus after coming to this campus for many parties when I was a teenager I give you my honest opinion, 1-First of all job prospect is slightly lower than most below average unis in London this university is more like a college. 2-Secondly there are no world class lecturer or teachers here 3-Thirdly it’s just a nice campus for socialising and wasting time perhaps if you’re into smoking and partying pick this university I’ve been to some really good parties here!! :) Ultimately make a wise decision, picking this uni is more for fun and parties less for working hard and career progression. Although I’d still attend parties on this campus if I can they’re fun also I’ve seen some pretty ladies here and there.

    Dear Amir, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for all of the hard work you've put in at the Student Accommodation Office. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and I'm truly grateful for all that you do. Your willingness to go above and beyond to help students is truly remarkable. From answering endless questions to finding creative solutions to complex problems, you've consistently demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that is truly impressive. Thank you so much for your commitment to providing exceptional service to students like myself. Your positive attitude and tireless work ethic are truly inspiring, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to meet you, Sir. Thank you 🙏🏻

    My next university. One of the most beautiful in London with a very interesting history. It has been frequented in the past by important people like the legendary Freddie Mercury, you can breathe positive energy there.

    it’s a nice environment and gorgeous building but the chance to have a job it’s really poor. There are a member of staff are quite racist and not support the students which effect the university reputation badly, for example Liz pooh in law school and more , the university should strain the lecturers and staff who really need the university to get best ranking in the UK . I studied law and master afterwards , but no job even when I applied for my university as a compliance officer they rejected my application, When i emailed them to say that i don’t dispute their decision but just ask for the reason of rejection, they said they will not explain anything because I didn’t reach an interview point. I really disappointed unfortunately I feel that I west my time

    I've genuinely been shocked by the level of unproffesionalism at this University. I applied months ago. Literally months! Still no decision has been made concerning my application. I've contacted them several times via phone and email. I'm always told that my application will be prioritized and someone will reach out to me shortly. Nothing ever happens. So unprofessional.

    Do not go to this university if you want a quality education. They will change your lecturers mid semester on a whim as well as inconsistent exam conditions and not bothering to give your timetable until a week prior to the course. They are a filthy corrupt educational establishment that has tacky online facilities that are hardly navigable, they also decided to withdraw me from my course three years in while I was sick and I had informed them of this, they demanded I repay the modules I missed while I was sick even though they were aware of my condition because I was on Disability Living Allowance. They did not once contact me throughout the duration of time I missed while unwell. They are a filthy underhanded establishment and I would encourage anyone to find a better place to study. Look no further than the general sentiment of most of the reviews.

    First of all this is one of the WORST universities i have ever visited. The hospitality of this university deserves a ZERO ( the worst ever) . I am a prospect master student in which i finished my bachelor degree on another british university and lived in uk for 6 years in which i finished my A-Levels course aswell and the comparison on hospitality between them was like day and night. I went yesterday to visit the premises of the university and they told me you cant go in but come tomorrow because we have "open day", Ok i said and i came today only to see the premises of the university from inside and i went through the back entrance and there was a rude short indian guy at the reception and he didnt even let me in because only students can enter ( stupid thing) I was even accompanied with 2 actual student from this university . What was i going to do to the school that they didnt let me in just to see the ground floor and the premises, I thought to apply for my masters degree to this uni, not only i will never apply but i will tell the story to many people and write to other platforms about them, even if they could give me free fees and money i would never study there. On my previous University i studied bachelor in Uk everybody was free to enter and there were no gates whatsoever to enter (only gates in the library) so everybody that wanted to study could at least see the premises and not let only student to enter through the gates. Seriously my worst ever experience, not to mention that the West University Of London was not so big and had e small entrance and didnt even look like a proper university.

    The worst university ever; it's a scam. I am wasting money and time in a dump hole. broken tables and seats in the lecture rooms; school resources insufficient to meet the needs of all students; some computers are broken or are out of date to use complex software. We ended up sharing and taking turns using the PCs; it was like nursery, an absolute joke. Trying to speak to someone senior is like a rat hunt; they send you around in circles with emails. Most of the people you speak to are fellow students (some are rude and don't want interactions; others may be kind). However, in certain situations where you require a senior adult, its nearly impossible to speak to them. The help and support are shocking. No one, i.e., no one knows anything about help or there is no help. This university offers February starters, which is fine; however, there becomes a point where there is no space in class rooms and to use the facilities, it feels like they wanted to squeeze as many as they could in a room at one time. I have a year left I have no choice but to stay I don't want to start again at another university The only positive I can say is the people you meet and interact with. Other than that, don't bother coming here; there are so many better universities.

    I will share my experience in business and computer studies. First of all, you will find very few teachers who teach with effort but the class is full of 70 or 80 students and it's hard to concentrate on the lecture. The majority of teachers do not teach systematically they just read PowerPoint slides and sometimes even forget which slides they were reading. They do not follow a systematic teaching approach and no brainstorming sessions are conducted with students. The class feels like dead. You as a student won't be learning any tools which helps you to gain competitive advantage in the market. The administration of the University is sleeping. They seem like confuse about what to do next if the problem happens. For international students, the agents from India are just making commission business and misguiding students to take admission in unnecessary course that has no future scope and boosting University profits. So best of luck if you select this University. Overall, Its a profit-making university, not a value addition.

    Spent 4 years here, teaching is outstanding, but the graduation team is shocking. I'm going to be graduating this summer, I'm massively disappointed because there are no additional tickets left. This was the same problem as last year as students couldn't get any additional tickets. With the amount of money us students put into education throughout this university experience, we should be entitled to have additional tickets. It's massively disappointing as graduation is where you wanna celebrate your achievement with your loved ones. As it is, you have to pay for the two tickets you're allowed to have for two guest, it's just a money grabbing event. Scrap additional tickets if everyone can't have additional tickets to make it fair for everyone else. I've sent a few messages to the graduation team and stated that they will notify me when there are any available a few weeks before graduation. This is not good enough as families have to fly here or/and book off work, not knowing if they can attend or not. My partner can only book two months in advance because he works for the government. Not everyone has the privilege to wait a few weeks before graduation to know the unknown. I know a lot of other students who are disappointed. I am also aware that students who have bought additional tickets resell them or give them away because guest can't attend, this again is unfair to people who couldn't get hold of these tickets. Alot of students from past graduations had more then the additional tickets because they have purchased from other students this meant they had 7+ guest with them (total of tickets per student is 5 including theirs which is free) making it unfair for students who only had two because tickets were unavailable.

    A modern & well equipped Uni that offers a good range of courses. The facilities are great, but surprisingly there seems to be no air conditioning in the classrooms which is a significant problem as they can be cold in the mornings but get hot very quickly with a full contingent of students. Mid summer is absolutely unbearable. The central courtyard 'heart space' is especially attractive with its stunning high ceilings & lots of glass, overlooked by the library & some the classrooms, it has several cafes here & a student bar for socialising & relaxing (although more comfy chairs & sofas would be a huge improvement). The main cafe in the 'Heart Space' does a good range of hot & cold food (much of which is made to order) but avoid the prepackaged sandwiches as they are ALWAYS stale & hard.

    Fantastic university. On my course (Early Years Education/Education) the lecturers work hard and motivate you all the way to end of your course. The guest speakers were brilliant and a lot of the modules were really interesting. The whole education department is brilliant and I would strongly recommend anyone to study here as a result.

    A racist University , Absolutely disgusting rejecting someone cause of their nationality after all the hard work they had put in to their degree. Since when did University decide the impacts for Civilians from Government actions . Absolutely Unethical and should seriously be looked at !

    Great university if you want a lack of teaching, education and support. Tutors cant even be bothered to turn up to work, marking is late and "support" departments love twiddling their thumbs.

    I wanted to given all Star's and my best regards for my English Assessment Teachers which I attended yesterday. Very very kind supportive and knows how to treating learners as their best. But unfortunately my efforts and their hard working not been valued. There are numbers of abusive issues by the Admission Departments for move away from the University. Educational institutions should to be fairer, honest, reliable, trustworthy to captured learners and inspired for valued qualifications and education both. I am so greatful and thankful for English Assessment Teachers yesterday. But I should to move away from any kind of extreme pressures which definitely would be cause stopped in the middle of the Course. Level 3 gone down Level 1 within a night. Creating complicated simple Level 3 or Level 1 English whatsoever so that learners getting move away from them. Inspiration is too far thoughts beforehand huge extreme pressures for three days a week classes for LEVEL 1🙄. Changes required please. Do they actually wants students to getting admission or running away from them. Think reviews particularly for lovely Teachers and lovely Reception.

    I went here for a year, it was the worse year of my life. Do not recommend it to anyone :) Literally moved out of the country into a different university because it was so incredibly bad. Paid to learn about fashion and ended up learning about the industrial revolution and topics which I literally learned in 9th grade. It was a huge waste of money and time.

    Leigha is a rock star 🌟 legend and fantastic as I will never forget when last year I stepped for the first time in my life in the campus and she literally made my day!!!!! OMG what a fabulous, delightful experience as she always melts my soul by just being super kind and magic 🧝‍♀️ , reason why we all need to know how precious she is and raise her name up for how professional and extra care she is for all of us the students OMG. Super excited to see her each day and her smile and professional attitude is always a privilege to feel better and confident as she is always there to help and make your day better. Love her to bits and all the fantastic magic people outthere. Adrian and Liam no words to express my gratitude!!!!!@@ God blesss University of West London.

  • 1/5 Stephanie C. 8 months ago on Google
    Truly the worst experience! All the staff that work here are no help with international students. I had such a hard time doing anything with the uni, and they are the worst at responding. Sending them an email? Don’t expect an email for a couple of days, and for them to just respond that you need to contact somebody else. And good luck with phoning them. Not worth all the debt. Hated it here.

    This place is garbage. Compared to the other Universities this has little structure with poor staffs that seem to be there just to stay mute and take the money the people are giving them. It's extremely diverse and you will have a miserable time there trying to live a normal life. They abused of hacking tools even though I got deferred one year before finishing and badmouth the students there bringing trouble we can't be there to sort out. Get abused mentally by the lowest grounds of life for a lifetime loan. Good luck.

Bad Exeperince and my one year is wasted because of the team in intenraitonal admissions.

  • 1/5 Oden D. 1 year ago on Google
    If only I can give a negative star to this university I would. The admission's team and process of this university is unreasonable and discouraging. A brief story of my case: I applied for an MSc in this university way before the deadline that they set for the program and my application got accepted. Weeks later they told me that they are not accepting or considering any international applications as they are now at capacity and won't offer any place to international students anymore. This is after they told me to wait for another 2 to 3 weeks for a decision after numerous times of followups. The university should have closed the application for international students on time to avoid unnecessary delays on the part of the prospective students as we also need to take into consideration application to other universities and for VISA application as well. To prospective students - Please do yourself a favor and do not even think of applying to this university.

    I came here with my brother on last Friday They told us to come for induction on 29 January. Even asking so many times they insisted that the induction date is 29. The security man the ambassador and the finance lady all wants us to go and come on 29 but even I told them please make sure the date is same as you all are saying they said yes. Its ridiculous that today after 2and half hour drive to the university they told us come on 31 your induction is not today and the ambassador saying oh i just checked the its on 31. Hell why you didn’t checked on the day when i was telling you that it’s 2 and half hours distance from my location please check carefully why….. please don’t bother new international students they already struggling with other stuff. And unable to find accommodation nearby. Very careless staff don’t care what others are trying to explain

  • 1/5 R W. 1 year ago on Google
    Management remain to be a joke, it is still very Thames Valley University. No training for staff hence staff know nothing. Mistakes are made with students' examination marks. Too many errors to list here. An absolute mess is an understatement. Casually hire and fire temps because Managers are grossly incompetent and don't know what they are doing from one day to the next. Best off sold off in parts.

  • 4/5 Hilary M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was a student here when it was Ealing College of Higher Education, many moons ago. I was on the Applied Languages Course which I don't believe exists any longer. If anyone knows whether, or where, it still exists, please leave a comment. I thought that the course was of an extremely high level with great lecturers. The most negative thing was the structural environment which was in great need of a face-lift but I am sure that it is much more aesthetically pleasing now. I have since studied in other universities and the erstwhile Ealing course still holds its own.

    Worst university ever! Been going at this Uni for 3 years now and I’m on the final year , I would say is the worst one ever. The teaching is very poor. Also they keep telling students to leave good reviews on surveys so they can be top Uni. Horrible. Someone needs to investigate this university.
