University of Greenwich

Based in East London, the University of Greenwich has 23,000 students from more than 140 different countries and has become increasingly popular with large numbers of international students over the last few years.

The university offers a wide range of courses, which tend to have a strong work related emphasis, with many incorporating vocational placements. There is a large array of subjects from Accounting to Sports Science.

At Greenwich, the student experience is shaped by the two well-attended Students’ Unions that the university has to offer, which provide regular social and sporting activities through the various societies.

There is also the East End of London to enjoy, which is undergoing major redevelopments in time for the 2012 Olympics. Nearby attractions include the world-class O2 Arena, which hosts international live music acts and a variety of restaurants.
