Welcome

The University of Greenwich is a large university with three attractive campuses. We have strong regional, national and international links with excellence in applied research, and, over the last 20 years we have become a major player in the education sector. We have a turnover of almost £200 million and nearly 26,000 students, of which 21 per cent of them are postgraduate.

A century of service; the University of Greenwich was originally a polytechnic which was opened to teach practical and commercial skills to London workers in late Victorian Britain. An innovator from the start, this institution pioneered the country’s first part-time day-release and sandwich courses. Over the years, a range of specialist organisations has joined the institution, giving it the diverse strengths it has today in subjects such as teacher training, architecture, engineering and history.

The University of Greenwich is a great place to work – both for the quality of its teaching and the opportunities that come with living in this part of the world. While the university is very modern in its approach to learning, research and business enterprise, some of its buildings are among the most beautiful and historic in the country.
