“After 10+ years of successful operations in the region and winning multiple awards, it is safe to say that Westford has been well on its way to becoming one of the finest higher education providers in the Middle East region. The values of Westford are deeply engrained into its practices. We are always working towards adapting to the evolving business landscape and incorporating updated theories and skillset into our programmes to offer the finest quality of academic experience to our students.

Recently, we have partnered with UK’s Abertay University to further expand our portfolio of undergraduate programmes, now offering BA (Hons) in Business and Business with Analytics. However, our forte doesn’t just end at business specialisations. It is a matter of pride that Westford taps into varying professional fields, from computers to Media and Sports to Human Resources, to offer every student an opportunity to follow their dreams.

Our vision will always remain to make higher education accessible and affordable. Westford is also a firm believer in enabling students to maintain a healthy work-life-study balance. Through our synchronous blended learning pedagogical approach and flexible class schedules for selected programmes, we can reach aspiring students, regardless of their location and lifestyle."

“My first year at Westford University College is nearing completion and what a year it has been. Apart from achieving academic excellence, with the support of the faculty members and the student administrators, I have had the opportunity to meet industry experts, CEOs and CFOs through various Westford initiatives.

The university has added immense value to my student life experience. It is here that I have been able to come into myself, explore my extracurricular interests and build meaningful friendships. I eagerly look forward to the rest of my academic journey.”
