Where is the University of Greenwich Located?
The University of Greenwich is set over three campuses, two in London and one in the historic Medway region of north Kent.
Greenwich Campus has a premium position in the heart of Greenwich, London, with fast transport links to central London.
Situated on the banks of the River Thames, the main campus at the University of Greenwich is located in the Old Royal Naval College – a UNESCO World Heritage site. Featuring three baroque buildings that were designed by the celebrated architect Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th century, the campus is often cited as one of the greenest and most beautiful in the UK.
Greenwich is packed with pubs, bars, restaurants, and live music venues. Just outside the campus gates you'll find Greenwich Market and the 74-hectare Greenwich Park with its spectacular views of central London, and world-famous Royal Observatory, home of the Greenwich Meridian.
Avery Hill Campus is located in 86-acre grounds in nearby Eltham. It is a lively, modern campus with excellent social and academic amenities, including computer clusters, laboratories, lecture theatres and libraries. Trains to central London take just 30 minutes.
Medway Campus is home to the Faculty of Engineering and Science as well as programmes from the Faculty of Education and Health. Situated in Chatham, Kent, students at Medway live, work and socialise on campus. The site has immediate access to excellent amenities and students can get to London by train in just 45 minutes.
Take a virtual tour through all three campuses.

Q&A
Hi,
Thanks for your question. There are pros and cons to going to university, and everyone has to decide what is best for them personally.
Some common issues or anxieties new students have are about the commitment of going to university for 3-5 years. However, if you are studying a course you are passionate about and you are sure university is the right path for you, this commmitment should not make you stressed or upset.
Also, university can be expensive. For many, it is their first time living away from home. If you are worried about finances, please be aware that tuition loans and maintenance loans are taken by the vast majority of UK students and can support you throughout your education. We also have a number of scholarships and bursaries available, so please check our webpage to see what you are eligible for. You can also get a part time student job, including our Student Ambassador scheme which offers steady, flexible part time employment for Greenwich students. Please note, our Student Union can also offer impartial advice about finance if requested.
Some people may also feel that they would prefer to enter the working world and get hands-on experience immediately rather than continue with their education. Again, this is a personal choice and everyone must pick what suits them best, but the University of Greenwich offers many courses with placements and other opportunities for students to get some valuable work experience while still a student. The University has strong connections with many companies in London and can support students to achieving their dream careers, with the added benefit of studying too. Find out more on our Employability and Careers page here.

Hi,
All timetables are different and subject to change each term, as are the modules. However, I can give an example of a basic timetable for this course:
You can expect 3 lectures a week, all about an hour in length. You will additionally have 3 seminars to go over the content from the lectures, which also will be about 1 hour each in length.

Hi,
Our Business research degree is 1.5-4 years full time and 2.5-7 years part time. Timetables differ depending on year and on the duration of the course you choose, but you may expect to be in class maybe 2 days per week. As a PHD involves a lot of independent study and research, you would also be expected to spend a lot of time outside of class also studying.
Hope this helps! For further information and immediate answers, you can use the live chat function on gre.ac.uk to chat with one of our Student Ambassadors from 9-5 on any working day.

The University of Greenwich is a lovely place to study it is split into three campuses Medway, Greenwich, and Avery Hill Campus. Greenwich campus is the best in terms of facilities, clubs and society’s. Avery hill is second best and more of a accommodation place for students and a few classrooms and a really big sports hall so it is like a little village area. Their is free travel to both areas provided by the SU. The SU office is mainly at Greenwich campus but their is one located at each campus and a careers service centre. Free WiFi across all 3 campuses. Medway is a little isolated but overall very big and nice. However you are charged to travel back and forth from Medway campus so that can be expensive also it is very far. However life over their is quite fun especially if you live on campus.
Hi, Thanks so much for your review, and for touching on each of our unique campuses! You can learn more about each of our campuses here: Greeniwch, Avery Hill, Medway. Each are beautiful and interesting in their own right. Travelling between Avery Hill and Greenwich is easy; we have a free campus bus that regularly runs between the two. Getting to Medway may take a bit longer, but the commute is worth it to see the impressive historic campus. All prospective students should expect to be wowed by our facilities and locations, no amtter which of our three campuses they end up on! -Cait

There are great facilities on campus, science labs, paramedic science labs, criminology labs, Engineering labs and new Food labs in Jelico. There are 3 food places at part of the University of Greenwich, my personal favourite is the cafe in Pembroke where you can get fresh pizza's made to order. However, the deep ends good for evenings as the karaoke society practices once a week, there's pool table, sports and films shown and they have events like silent disco too. There are also two cafes from the university of Kent and Canturbury which you can go in to, I like the smoothies from the Kent cafe. There is a veriety of clubs and society's, Student union are active and the careers service is there to help through pdp modules or individual appointments, the only thing that needs Improving is the Wifi.
Hi there, We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying the on-campus facilities including the academic and social sides of the university. The societies are a really great way to meet new people and find hobbies that you might not have thought of before! We are very proud to say that the student's union has so many to choose from (more info on our socieities here!). You mentioned that the wifi could be improved, I would suggest having a look at the eduroam configuration assistant tool (CAT) as this has definitely made my connection more reliable. You can have a look at that here. - Duncan
I am currently completing my MBA in International Business with Greenwich and the support I received as an International student has been fantastic. Despite the challenges with COVID-19 restrictions, the overall experience has been really good. It is a beautiful city, gorgeous campus, diverse teaching staff !

Applying to this university was probably one of the best decisions I have made in my life! The idea of attending university itself was quite daunting to think about at the beginning. However, once I started my course here I felt so at ease. There was always help available such as the library staff and the academic support services, so I did not feel like I was alone when completing my assignments. I have had an enjoyable experience so far and have made so many memories as well as lifelong friends. If you are thinking about applying here, I would definitely say not to give it a second thought and go for it :)

I have had a brilliant few years at Greenwich, I am a bit sad to be graduating this year as I will miss it! All of the staff are really supportive and there are so many employability opportunities whilst studying, as well as when you are graduating. There are many different clubs and societies that you can get involved in, and there are also a lot of very well-paid student jobs available! I am confident that I made the right decision by studying here, I have had a really positive experience and would recommend this university.
Hi, Thanks so much for your review. We are glad that you have had such an enjoyable time studying at Greenwich!

Like you mention, we also do have a variety of part time student roles available, such as Student Ambassador roles and roles within the student union. -Cait
The University of Greenwich is an amazing university and is really under appreciated! We have amazing facilities and lecturers. There is so much support available for students and I always kno who to contact if I am ever in need of help. My mental health has been so low at points and I've always had problems but was able to get help through the university which I am so grateful for. There are also lots of academic support workshops and appointments that help me with assignments. All lecturers are really helpful and very approachable! I particularly recommend all healthcare courses!
Hi, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you have felt supported academically and mentally thoughout your time at Greenwich. You can read more about come of our student support and services here. -Cait
The University of Greenwich stands out for me as it has allowed me to better integrate myself into the university experience as a student coming from abroad through a foundation year. The foundation year has given me the exclusive support required to further my self development and better prepare for the years to come. I had the chance to live in halls for the first 2 years, however I had to leave as during my second year as the pandemic had led the country to a lockdown and so I could no longer afford to live there as I had to leave the country to be with my family. I must say I appreciate how lenient the university halls were with allowing me to cancel my contract without penalising me for it. The content and quality of teaching along with the lecturers and staff support from day one were exceptional, even though the pandemic has made it tough on both staff and students to motivate, engagement is facilitated through one-to-ones and various resources for independent learning.
Hi, Thanks so much for taking time to write your review. We are proud to have such a large population of international students at the University of Greenwich. We are glad that you are satisifed with the adjustments we have made in response to the global pandemic, and that you are still able to enjoy university life. -Cait
University of Greenwich is underrated university! To begin with - I completed work placement. University's employability services helped me to find a placement, prepared me for interviews and even checked my cv and cover letter. On the top of that they organise multiple seminars and workshops to improve your employability skills which is essential for such a competitive job market in London. I also participated in student exchanges - with University of Greenwich support we found a perfect fit for me in Spain where I was able to improve my Spanish language skills! Talking about university in general the support from academics is always outstanding. Prior to the covid thing we would meet on weekly basis with our personal tutor who is always here to help no matter is it personal or just something to do with your assignments. There are so many things I could say. But word limit doesn't allow me. If you are considering to apply do it! You will thank me latter
Hi, Thanks for your review! We are so pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your time so far at the University of Greenwich and made full use of our rescources to boost your employability and personal development. -Cait
I’ve a good advice to all potential students. Please avoid Greenwich University. It’s a beautiful location and beautiful buildings. Nothing else. Inside it looks terrible. The level of teaching extremely low. Many lecturers do not speak a proper English. The biggest regret to join the university. No support from the stuff at all. Avoid!!!
Hi, We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience studying with us. Have you tried reaching out to our Student Support and Services? Our Student Centre is always available to offer broad advice and direct you to specialist services if needed. If you are having issues with lecturers and faculty, please do contact your personal tutor, or get in touch with our many other members of staff who are available to support you with your studies, such as subject librarians and academic skills tutors. -Cait
The campus is beautiful, however if you want a good academic experience I personally would not recommend this university. Out of 8 of my lecturers, only two of them actually actively give their students constant support, the others just don't teach. My "personal tutor" who is meant to help us during our three years in university has never, NEVER replied to ANY OF MY EMAILS IN THE THREE YEARS. I thought I was the only one who she didn't reply to, turns out she doesn't reply to any of my coursemate's emails either. Absolute shambolic of an education system and they are so disorganised.
Hi, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are disatisfied with your academic expeience and your personal tutor specifically. You are able to request a new personal tutor by getting in touch with your module leader and presenting your case of why you would like this change. We hope this helps anyone else looking to do so in the future. We also have a multitude of other facets of academic support that students are able to contact. -Cait
Overall I think the university isn't bad, the facilities are old and the university is doing the best they can with what they have. I love the library and all the available resources to use for coursework as well as personal development. I haven't interacted with Students Union much. There are quite a few interesting societies and clubs available but it's difficult to be a part of them if you don't live on campus. What I am completely disappointed with is the complete lack of support for students and their mental health. The services provided by university are very minimal and not helpful. Many lectures are very condescending and sometimes seem to not understand that students have other responsibilities, such as work. The faculty members on higher positions only seem to care about money and treat university as a business.
Hi, Thank you for your response. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the best experience at the university. We do have a student wellbeing service on campus. Thank you for taking out time and writing us a review. ~Harvey
good uni for opportunity, our business campus is boujee and has featured in many films
Hi, Thank you for your review! The impressive historical buildings of our Greenwich campus have indeed been the filming location for many films. Most recently, the Netflix mystery film "Enola Holmes" used the Royal Naval College as the backdrop for many scenes. -Cait
The campus facilities are not that bad.
Hi, Thanks for your review. -Cait
Are you seriously going to rate an university based on its campus and WiFi? It's a really bad university, yet it's getting ratings high for its campus and resources. Gotta admit they are not bad, but really? Aren't we going to rate an university based on the level of teaching? These 2 stars are not for the campus facilities, but for the teaching quality so keep that in mind.
Hi, We apologise that you have been having internet issues. You should be able to connect to eduroam on all of our campuses. If you are having issues, please visit this webpage or contact the IT service desk. Thank you for taking out time and writing us a response.
Taking my course here was the worst decision of my life. Falsely advertised course, poor teaching, no solid teaching body through the entire 3 years, learnt more in 2 weeks work experience than 3 years here. Students Personally attacked on grading if negative commetns of the course were made or attendance is poor. Numerous students graded poorly after not being taught sufficiently. Overall just a business without student interest at heart.
Hi, We apologise that you have not had the best expereince at our university. We do truly care about all of our students. Thank you for taking out time and writing us a response. ~Harvey
The school facilities are okay.
Hi! Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you have nejoyed the university's facilities. -Cait
Overall, Good.Nice new library,24 hrs drinkable water supply, your best friend during end of year. Environment is good, in fact awesome, specially during Autumn. Student Union..........no comment, building placed at weird spot where you normally wouldn't get close except live next to it. Career support is good, cv check, periodic career or internship event helps a lot. If you're a self motivate student and always appear in events, "merit" you obtained may form the "Employability passport",which give you some advantage. --------- There are good things doesn't mean perfect. first, it's small,specially if you're not counting the library. There isn't a timelord wearing like British to redecorate it. Further more not all teacher are good, several prefer put everything in powerpoint and just simply read out,causing lecture become pointless. last, if you're [Asian], they might force you to study with other Asian(CN) instead of local student.(Even you're from Japan or Korea)
Hi, Thank you for your lovely response. We are gald you had a positive experience at the University Of Greenwich. ~Harvey
I love it so much and I am sure that I will miss it when I finish my study!!!

Do no come to this university to study engineering. It's awful. The first comum year, is more basic than A-levels, lectures ain't helpful, some lectures don't even speak English properly.
Hi, Thank you for your response, We are sorry that you did not have a good experience. All our engineering degrees share a common first year before you go on to specialise in your chosen area of engineering. Thank you for taking out time to write a review. ~Harvey
Such wonderful facility and campus
Hi, Thanks so much for your review. We are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your time at our University. -Cait
I lived on Avery Hill Campus for my first year and it felt as if there was nothing to do socially, and because my course was located on Avery Hill campus I felt secluded from the actual university itself and was unable to socialise with others who were attending courses on the main campus. There was a bus into Greenwich (took about 30 mins) but once you got there there wasn't really a lot to do and the last bus was at 9pm therefore if you wanted to go to the students union there you wouldn't be able to spend long there.
Hi, It is sad to hear that you had a bad experience living on the Avery Hill campus. We do have accomodation available on the Greenwich campus. The Avery Hill campus is located just outside of Etham high street, which is populated with grocery stores, clothes shops, restaurants, a cinema, historical sites such as Eltham Palace, and green spaces. There is something for everyone to enjoy, allowing people living on this campus to have many social outings in their area. Additionally, we offer a very frequent and free bus shuttle service between the Avery Hill and the Greenwich campuses, with buses every 15 minutes during the day. Local buses, such as the 286, also travel between the two campuses for £1.50 for a single ride. -Cait
The new library and the area is nice, that's about it. Student Union?.... what Student Union? In my 3 years at Greenwich, I only went there 2 times as there was nothing to do there. I really really regret coming here now, I really do :(
Hi, We are sorry to hear you feel disappointed with your experience at Greenwich, specifically with the Student Union. The Union Officers change every year, and with this staffing change comes new events and plans. Check out the website to see the latest news, upcoming events, or even run for one of the officer positions yourself-this way ensuring the Student Union runs more to your liking. -Cait
I am currently doing my PGCE (Secondary education) with Greenwich. This University was one my choices amongst others. And I am glad I chose this place. The whole secondary education staff have been very helpful. The help and support offered by this Uni. is second to none especially with such an intensive course. I have found the course very well structured and tutors very helpful and supportive. I would strongly recommend this Uni. to people who are considering to pursue PGCE in the future.
Hi, Thanks so much for your review! We are pleased to hear you are enjoying working towards your PGCE with us and that the secondary education staff have been helpful. Ofsted rated the quality of teacher training in secondary education at the University of Greenwich as 'Good' in its report for Initial Teacher Education 2016. You can find the webpage for our PGCE's here. Join our wonderful secondary education department in Avery Hill today! -Cait
not much information on how to join societies, but the campus itself is pretty and the buildings are gorgeous
Hi, Thanks so much for your review! It is great to hear that you appreciate our historical campus. To join a society, you can visit the Greenwich Student Union website (seperate from the official university website). The site provides a list of what is on offer, how to join, and even how to start a new group yourself. For students based on the Medway campus, the GKSU website shows the societies on offer to you. We have a great range of student groups covering loads of different interests, from cultural socieites like the Bangladeshi society, to ones focused on common interests, like the Harry Potter society. -Cait
Underwhelming compared to the initial impression, it really depends on your course choice. Make sure you are prepared to gain most of your learning from the available facilities etc
Hi, We are sorry to hear you found your university experience underwhelming, but glad that you felt you could depend upon our facilities. -Cait
The staff in the education department as so helpful!

A lively and easily accessible inner city university with rich history and coupled with its high level of international students, allows for a deeply accepting society. University facilities more than meet the standards of the course and the contact hours are well spent. Lecturers are always willing to help, even out of hours.
Hi, Thank you for taking out time and writing a response. It's good to know that you accessed our campus easily and enjoyed our rich history. Our lecturers are always ready to help! and provide a good studying enviroment. ~Harvey

Perhaps a lack of dynamic Clubs and Societies
Hi! You can find a full list of societies offered by the Student Union here. We have a range of societies from academic, to political, to ones for unique interests such as Anime or Disney. -Cait
The Union bar is amazing, really colourful and cheap in terms of drink and food. There are clubs, however not so many that cater to my needs personally and all the good ones seem to be over on a different campus which is not very convenient. In terms of career opportunities the uni will help you but it's up to the individual to make their own opportunities arise both through academia and by networking.
Hi, Thank you for your response, we are glad to know you enjoyed the union bar. We also have a employability and careers page. Thank you for taking out time and writing us a review. ~Harvey
a bit unorganised and not many clubs but a nice setting and relaxed atmosphere.
Hi, Thanks for your review. We are pleased that you enjoy the university's unique setting and atmosphere. For information on clubs and societies, please visit the Student Union website, both the Greenwich/Avery Hill union site and the Medway site. The Student Union is very active and holds events year round (virtually during the current pandemic), as do our clubs and societies.
