What makes us different

Boasting buzzing social scenes, award-winning Students’ Unions, sports clubs, societies, and a vibrant international student community, UWS  offers four campuses in the West of Scotland and  one campus in London. So, whether it’s bagging that dream job or broadening your horizons, whatever success means to you, we’ll help you achieve it. 

We put students first. That means investment in facilities, access to the latest technology, and flexible teaching delivered by academics at the forefront of their profession. 

The state-of-the-art equipment and facilities across our campuses allow you to put your knowledge into practice in real-world settings. You’ll benefit from gaining experience and hands-on skills even from the early stages of your studies.

Plus, the latest technologies in artificial intelligence and virtual reality help bring your learning to life in innovative ways. 

 

UWS is very student-orientated and accepting of all students, no matter their background. And that’s something that really stood out to me. It’s such a good feeling to feel welcomed somewhere.
