University of Greenwich

Overview

The University of Greenwich offers the best of both worlds: city and country. As a student you would be on the doorstep of London, but the University of Greenwich also offers the cream of Kent - rolling hills, pub-to-pub walks, seaside resorts and Canterbury Cathedral - not far away.
Education at the University of Greenwich is about breadth as well as depth, about places and people, sights and heritage as well as books and keyboards.
The University of Greenwich traces its roots to 1890, when Britain’s second polytechnic was opened near the Thames at Woolwich to teach practical and commercial skills to London workers.
