Thank you very much for your warm reception. We are truly delighted to be here. On behalf of the Vice Chancellor, who unfortunately cannot be with us today, may I say a few words about university.
The University of Westminster was founded in 1838 as Britain’s first polytechnic, so we are an old institution. Our main campus is located right in the heart of London, the capital of Britain. Currently we have more than 22,700 students who came from 193 different countries. This makes Westminster one of the 15 most popular UK universities among international students.
We have a teaching staff of more than 700 supported by up to 1.000 visiting lectures from different countries. The international atmosphere means that the university provides an excellent preparation for professional life, and our mission is to provide high quality education and research in both national and international contexts.
We are a leading modern university for research into the areas of communication, cultural and media studies, law, Asian studies, linguistics, art and design (including music), electronic engineering, and politics and international relations, and we have gained professional recognition in all core disciplines.
We really look forward to establishing a programme of exchange with your university.
