University of Greenwich

Each of the three Greenwich campuses offers a different kind of student experience. The Greenwich Campus is set in a UNESCO World Heritage Site right on the Thames, with the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich Park, the National Maritime Museum, and the O2 Arena all nearby. It is a dramatic and inspiring place to spend years through the university journey. The Avery Hill Campus in Eltham is greener and more residential, with good sports facilities and student accommodation in a quieter south-east London neighbourhood. The Medway Campus in Kent offers a compact, community-focused environment 45 minutes from London by train. All three campuses have active Students' Union presences, libraries, social spaces, and catering facilities.

The University of Greenwich is recognised for its strong teaching quality, student experience, graduate outcomes, and academic reputation. It holds a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework for student experience and outcomes and is consistently ranked among the leading universities in the UK and globally. The university is also known for producing strong graduate employment results and has received multiple Queen’s Anniversary Prizes in recognition of the excellence and impact of its teaching and research.
