The University of Westminster was founded in 1838 as the Royal Polytechnic Institution, the first polytechnic in London and one of the first in the UK. It gained university status in 1992 and retains its founding commitment to accessible, practical education. The university is centred on its historic headquarters at 309 Regent Street in central London and operates across four London campuses, including sites in the West End, Marylebone and Harrow.
The university has more than 21,000 students across undergraduate, postgraduate and professional programmes. Its academic work is organised through three colleges: the College of Creative Arts and Technologies, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Westminster Business School. It has a strong profile in the creative industries, media and business, and works with more than 180 partner organisations, from major companies to small businesses and charities. Westminster holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 and has been recognised for the quality of its student support.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Westminster is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Westminster start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Westminster may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
