Professor Peter John, Vice-Chancellor of UWL said:

To see so many of our courses rating so highly both across London and the UK shows the positive impact of our focus on great teaching, excellent facilities, and dedicated student services right across our campus.

Not only have we made significant investment in our facilities, but our students remain at the heart of everything we do and we continue to deliver what they need as well as the skills needed by employers so that they can excel in their careers and add value to our workforce.
