Why international students choose UWL

Hear from Vishal, one of our current students at UWL. In this student vlog, Vishal talks about what it's like to study in London as a student from Malaysia.

Malaysian students can benefit greatly from the diverse and multicultural learning environment that the university provides, as well as our great industry links and lifetime careers advice once you graduate.

Located just minutes from central London, with parks and green spaces on your doorstep, the University of West London offers an exceptional study environment for international students looking to pursue their academic and career aspirations. 

London is consistently voted as one of the best cities in the world for studying abroad and at UWL we welcome students from over 100 countries worldwide.
