| University information | Westminster Business School (WBS) is an integral aspect of the busy life of the capital. As one of the several Schools which make up the well established University of Westminster (founded in 1838), WBS has been delivering business and management programmes in the heart of London since the 1930's. Over a third of the School’s 2,000-plus full-time students come from outside the UK. In addition, WBS hosts hundreds of visiting students each year on joint degree programmes or on exchange schemes, and maintains active teaching and research links with some 60 leading overseas universities.
The School has a strong tradition within London of continuing professional development (CPD) and executive education for those already working in this vibrant city. You can find more information on the university website.
