City of Westminster College (CWC) is part of the United Colleges Group, one of the largest providers of post 16 education and training in Greater London. We are a multi-site institution with a strong community presence which offers open and inclusive access to all our students. We are proactive in the economic, social and business life of the communities we serve.
With five sites spread across Westminster, Camden and Brent, United Colleges Group is well placed to help improve the life chances of every person who walks through our doors and joins us.
UCG is delighted to have been awarded an overall ‘Good’ effectiveness grade by Ofsted following its recent inspection in December 2024. Inspectors praised the college’s ‘extensive curriculum offer which aligns exceptionally well with skills priorities in London’ and noted that ‘staff support and encourage learners and apprentices to overcome any barriers to their success, so they can actively participate in and enjoy their education’.
Our aim is to try and help our students, whether younger or older, achieve their ambition. That ambition may well be to progress to university or move into a well-paid job or start a new career path.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
