The Lady Byron School was founded in 1860, which is when the University of West London was founded. The school was renamed Ealing College of Higher Education and received university status in 1992. It was renamed the University of West London in 2010. In West London, the university has two campuses: Ealing and Brentford. The Ealing campus recently had a £50 million makeover, including the renovation of the student union, library, and music studios. The School of Human and Social Sciences, the College of Nursing, Midwifery, and Healthcare, the Claude Littner Business School, and the Nursing Simulation Centre are all located on the Brentford campus. The two locations are only 1.5 miles apart and are linked by a complimentary shuttle service. The Berkshire Institute for Health is also located in Reading town center at Fountain House. This institute was created in collaboration with the NHS to train nurses and midwives. Students are given hands-on experience to supplement their academics. The university also contains the London Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism, the School of Computing and Engineering, the London College of Music, the School of Law and Criminology, and the London School of Film, Media and Design, in addition to the three schools on the Brentford site.
