A Cosmopolitan Place to Study

Each year, students from hundreds of countries join the University of Greenwich. They bring fresh perspectives, and many form friendships that span continents and last lifetimes.

We are immensely proud to be a university that places diversity at its core, celebrating education without boundaries.

Quality Teaching

Ninety per cent of students who took part in the National Student Survey said that teaching staff are good at explaining things. They also gave high ratings to the fact that their course is engaging and intellectually stimulating (NSS 2024).

In 2023, we were awarded the gold standard when we were assessed by the Office for Student’s Teaching Excellence Framework, which considers student experience and outcomes. Therefore, you can feel confident that you will receive a high-quality teaching experience with us.

Inspiring Settings

Avery Hill Campus is purpose-built to provide an excellent teaching environment and is based in peaceful and green Eltham. Medway Campus is another location famous for its maritime past and enjoys fast transport from Kent to central London.

A Focus On Jobs

We work with employers to provide the workplace skills students really need. Employers help design and shape programme content, ensuring our teaching reflects the latest developments in industry.

Many of our courses offer work placements, where students can build skills in the workplace as well as on campus with the university. Graduates receive support from our Employability Service during their studies and beyond.

We understand that moving to a new country can feel overwhelming but our SU offers many opportunities to meet new people and forge new friendships.

There is a wide range of societies and clubs for international students to get involved in, including those that bring together students from the same countries, religious groups and with the same interests such as sport.
