Why choose us?

The University of Greenwich offers the best of both worlds, city and country. As a student you are on the doorstep of London, but with the cream of Kent - rolling hills, pub-to-pub walks, seaside resorts and historic sites - not far away.

Education is about breadth as well as depth. It is about places and people, sights and heritage as well as books and keyboards. So let us tell you a little about how we were born and how we have grown.
More than a century of service

The university 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. An innovator from the start, the polytechnic pioneered the country’s first part-time day-release and sandwich courses. Over the years a range of specialist organisations have joined the institution, giving it diverse strengths in subjects such as teacher training, architecture, engineering and history. The name Thames Polytechnic was adopted in 1970. We became the University of Greenwich when we were awarded university status in 1992.

The University of Greenwich feels like a welcoming academic home that balances tradition with modern learning. The campus environment is inspiring, the faculty are supportive, and the resources encourage growth. It’s a place where students can truly develop confidence, skills, and a strong sense of belonging.

The University of Greenwich’s official website is a helpful starting point for both current and prospective students, offering information on courses, research, institutes, and library services.
