Thames Valley University has now officially changed its name to the University of West London.

This new name highlights a strategic shift for the University with a re-positioning of its operations to its West London campus which comprises of a newly refurbished main building in Ealing and an 11-storey award-winning building in Brentford. 

This name change coincides with the installation of the new Chancellor, Laurence Geller, who is President and CEO of Strategic Hotels and Resorts. The ceremony will take place on Thursday 12th May 2011.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter John says: "This is a natural progression for TVU which is now a very different institution to that which was granted university status in 1992. The name change is necessary in order to align our new direction of travel with our clear brand and geographical identity which now lies at the heart of West London focusing on our two campuses in Ealing and Brentford."

Students’ Union President Daniel Whittal says: "We have been heavily involved in rebranding the University from day one and we remain 100% supportive towards the name change. The senior team acted upon feedback from students and there is a buzz on campus about putting the University of West London on degree certificates. When the Union rebranded as West London Students’ Union it really helped to enhance our relationship with local businesses and the student experience, we believe the same will soon be said about the University’s new name."
