United Colleges Group

All of our students are invited to become a member of the College’s Student Council, which is part of the National Union of Students (NUS). This membership gives you access to advice and information, discounts on travel, shopping, stationery and many other useful benefits to make living on a student budget easier.

Student Governors are elected from the Student Council and sit on the Governing Body of the College, making sure that the views and voices of students are heard. They work with the governors to help improve the education and teaching at City of Westminster College. It’s your Student Council – and that means you can take an active part in shaping it. We encourage you to develop clubs and societies, organise trips, parties and various other leisure and sporting activities.

Each course elects a Course Representative, and they are invited to attend meetings with College managers to discuss their opinions, offer suggestions and give feedback on their course and what it is like to be a College student.

We are proud of our students and encourage them to gain skills that go beyond your qualifications. We run a Student Volunteer programme which offers learners the chance to contribute to College life, helping out with College events such as Freshers' Fairs, H.E Fairs, Open Days and Award ceremonies. Students who volunteer consistently through the year are often invited to become Student Ambassadors, where they continue to help out at internal and external events and are given the opportunity to gain paid work during the College’s enrolment period. Our Ambassador programme gives students real, practical skills they can use for work and experience they can put on their UCAS applications and CVs.
