On this page we are hoping to highlight issues relevant to you regarding life and culture and to provide you with some ideas on how to get support in Westminster and beyond should you need it.
In future we are planning that this space will also include your own experiences re: life and culture. We are currently working with OUCH, Westminster's youth magazine to develop this area further. If you have ideas on topics you think should be included in this section please use the contact us page to let us know.

Prospective employers value your experience as much as your qualifications. It also gives you an idea of whether you really do want to pursue such a career path.
