UWS & Nigeria
UWS has a thriving community of Nigerian students and each year we welcome over 100 Nigerian students to our Scottish and London campuses. With an extensive catalogue of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes designed to meet the demands of research and industry, the University continues to offer a wide range of opportunities to Nigerian applicants.
We recently launched our Centre for African Research on Enterprise and Economic Development (CAREED), with one of our academics, Professor John Struthers, as the Director. CAREED has a unique emphasis on enterprise and economic development, especially given Africa’s strong recent and on-going development.

There is a well-established community of Nigerian students at UWS who play an active role in many of the University’s social societies and sports clubs.
