Enrichment

Alongside your studies, life at college should build your confidence, help you discover new interests and make the most of every opportunity.

Our Enrichment Programme is designed to help you develop personally, socially and professionally while you study. Whether you want to stay active, meet new people, build your CV or simply try something new, there’s something for everyone.

Activities & Clubs

Our Student Enrichment Team organises a wide range of activities throughout the week, including:

  • Football
  • Basketball
  • Table tennis
  • Karate
  • Boxing
  • Dance
  • Music appreciation
  • Gaming

You can take part for fun, fitness or skill development, and if you’re interested in competitive sport, we also compete in AOC leagues for basketball, football and table tennis.

Alongside sport, we support a variety of clubs and societies. Working closely with our Student Council and Student Ambassadors, we help students organise events, trips and social activities that make college life vibrant and inclusive.

Support Beyond the Classroom

The Enrichment Team works in partnership with a range of external organisations to ensure students have access to specialist advice, opportunities and support beyond the classroom.

Our partners help provide activities, mentoring and programmes that support students’ personal development, wellbeing and future aspirations.

Our partnerships include:

  • Willesden Sports Centre – access to gym and swimming facilities
  • Paddington Recreation Ground – sports and outdoor activities
  • West London Citizens – community engagement and leadership opportunities
  • Duke of Edinburgh’s Award – personal development and adventure programmes
  • Jack Petchey Foundation – celebrating student achievement and youth leadership
  • Integrated Gangs Unit – support, guidance and community safety initiatives
  • Track Academy – mentoring and athletics development
  • Westminster Stop and Search – awareness and community dialogue programmes

Get Involved

Getting involved in college life is one of the best ways to meet new people, gain valuable experience and strengthen your CV or UCAS application.

Student Union

All students can become members of the College’s Student Council, which is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS). Membership gives you access to advice, support and student discounts on travel, shopping and more – helping you make the most of student life.

Student Council & Student Governors

The Student Council represents the student voice across the College. From this group, Student Governors are elected to sit on the College’s Governing Body, ensuring students play an active role in shaping decisions and improving the overall experience.

You’ll have opportunities to:

  • Share feedback and ideas
  • Develop new clubs and societies
  • Organise trips, events and activities
  • Influence change within the College

Your voice matters, and we encourage you to use it.

Course Representatives

Each course elects a Course Representative who attends meetings with College managers to share feedback, suggest improvements and represent their classmates’ views. It’s a great way to build leadership and communication skills.

Student Marketing Ambassadors

Our Student Ambassador Programme offers volunteering opportunities at events such as Freshers’ Fairs, Higher Education Fairs, Open Days and Awards Ceremonies.

As an Ambassador, you’ll develop practical skills, gain valuable work experience and enhance your CV or UCAS application – all while playing a key role in College life.

Make the most of your time here. Get involved, try something new and shape your college experience.

“The facilities here are brilliant. You have range of courses you can study. My teachers in the Performing Arts department have got history in the industry, which is very useful.

“At City of Westminster College, my experience has been the best of all the other colleges I’ve attended. The reason I like CWC is because the teachers make my journey easier with assessment and exams. I’m a Level Two Science student and I enjoy my lessons because most of them are practical, which are helpful for me. I love studying at CWC because you meet people from other countries – all over the world and from all different communities.”

“Getting into security has opened doors for me.”
City of Westminster College Logo

“The training process was seamless. I had good instructors who were very flexible, supporting people of all learning levels. On the last day after our exams, a security company came and did a presentation. We had the opportunity to have an interview afterwards. I told them about my experiences, and they said I would be a good fit. I formally applied for a role and started with the company soon after. Getting into security has opened doors for me. I hope I will continue to take steps up the career ladder.”
