The University of West London (UWL) is celebrating another outstanding performance after being named University of the Year for Student Experience in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.

The accolade comes on the back of a year of success for the career-focused University that has seen it storm up the rankings and record impressively high levels of student satisfaction.

The award also reflects the University’s strong connection with business and industry across west London that has helped develop courses that create graduates with the skills employers are looking for.

Alistair McCall, Editor of The Sunday Times Good University Guide, described UWL as, “regularly among the top-performing modern universities”.

He said:

Its recent success in the National Student Survey has proved that it is possible for a London-based institution to achieve the outstanding levels of student satisfaction that have proved beyond other London universities. The secret would appear to be to create a student-centric experience with high levels of support and first-class facilities. Students are justifiably proud of their university.

Professor Peter John, Vice-Chancellor at UWL, said:

This is a great achievement for UWL but it is only possible thanks to our students.  Our students are at the heart of everything we do and when they speak, we listen and take action.

Every day our students are demonstrating the talent, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that will help them go on to successful and rewarding careers. It is our students who will be helping the economy grow in the future and finding the solutions to our most pressing problems.
