Since its inception as the Royal Polytechnic Institute in 1838, Westminster has always been an international institution, receiving students from all over the world. A primary attraction has been its historical role as a leader in innovation, having been the first British institution to relay a transatlantic telegraph, demonstrate a moving picture and teach photography. Of equal attraction is its location in the midst of central London. The main campus is on Regent Street, from where one will be able to browse the elegant shops on Bond Street, be tempted by the world cuisine in Soho, take in a theatre performance in Leicester Square or view the masterpieces in the National Gallery at Trafalgar Square.

Westminster is an urban university with four main campuses.

Regent Street Campus: The impressive Edwardian office on Regent Street, just off Oxford Circus, is the historic home of the University of Westminster. It is the home to the School of Social & Behavioral Science (History, Politics, Psychology, Sociology, etc.), the School of Languages and the School of Law.

Cavendish Campus: Just a few blocks north of Regent Street is the University's Cavendish center. It is home to the School of Biosciences, the Cavendish School of Computer Science and the Department of Technology & Design.

Marylebone Campus: Heading west across the southern corner of Regent's Park, near the infamous Madame Tussaud's, is the Marylebone Center. It houses the School of the Built Environment and the Westminster School of Business.

Harrow Campus: Approximately 30 minutes (by Tube) from the downtown campus is modern, high-tech Harrow campus. This state-of-the-art complex is home to the School of Communication, Design & Media, the Harrow School of Business and the Harrow School of Computer Science.

No matter which campus courses are held at, all students are members of the Student's Union and will be provided with access to a range of services including libraries, and computer labs, as well as social clubs and sporting venues.
