Student life at the University of Greenwich is enriched with culture, regardless of which campus you are based at. Our flagship campus at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich and our Medway Campus at the Chatham Dockyards in Kent are rich in maritime history and architectural wonder. You may recognise our home campus from major Hollywood films and TV shows, as it is one of the few places in the world that makes for a perfect period piece location. Our Avery Hill Campus in Eltham, a specialist site for students of education and health courses, is purpose-built with onsite accommodation, excellent sports facilities and state-of-the-art learning environments. The university offers a free low-emissions bus service between Greenwich and Avery Hill, or for a small fee to and from Medway, our science and engineering hub. All our campuses enjoy an exciting local scene, with restaurants, bars and entertainment venues nearby.

For the fifth year running, London has topped the QS Best Student Cities rankings (Quacquarelli Symonds Best Student Cities 2024), thanks to its thriving cultural, culinary and entertainment scene. Greenwich is home to the O2 arena, an entertainment venue that hosts live music and performance events. With transport links to major UK hubs, leisure destinations and international airports, travelling to and from the city is easy.

We provide an excellent social experience, with networks and societies for every interest and identity. These include sports and music, as well as supportive networks such as those for international students, students who identify as LGBTQ and student parents.



“…I always wanted to do my masters in London. It wasn't like a university for me at the beginning, it was like a second home. …I think Greenwich has the best opportunities… I think also [the university is]… really good at advising people and trying to make them more confident in their fields or about their future. I definitely recommend it. I'm still very happy. That's why I was a student, now I'm a full-time member of staff.”

My journey with the University of Greenwich has been really fulfilling. I think one of the things I've found most impressive and helpful is how much real-world experience everyone in the School of Business and Management has. In an industry as dynamic as tourism management, experience and connections are as necessary as education, so knowing that all of our lecturers have that experience to guide us towards our specific goals has been really helpful. The university also offers a lot of tutoring and wellness services for students to ensure we have the support we need both in and outside the lecture halls, which I've definitely relied on when it came to completing assessments for my courses.

Moving abroad to one of the most exciting cities in the world to complete my Masters degree, I knew the year would absolutely fly by and so I've been making an effort to get involved on campus as much as possible. Being a student ambassador, I'm often working with prospective students, and as a student representative for my cohort, I'm speaking on behalf of current students to make real changes and improvements to our university experience. Through the university's mentorship programme, I've been connected with an international industry professional whose experiences and guidance have been invaluable as I begin to look for my programme internship and eventually a permanent position.

Living in London, I'm constantly exposed to new opportunities and experiences related to the tourism industry that I wouldn't get anywhere else in the world. There's always a new event or networking opportunity or place to see in the city, and being one of the largest cities in Europe, travel is easy - you can hop on a train or plane and be in a country or city you've never experienced before within a couple of hours at any given moment, which I've definitely taken advantage of. Getting these experiences and making these connections during my studies will absolutely have a positive impact as I take the next steps in my career after graduating.

My master’s course was incredible. From day one, I was in the film studio, and my lecturer immediately had us doing filming exercises—it was the perfect balance of theory and hands-on practice. In screenwriting, we didn’t just learn the concepts; we had to apply them, write our own scripts, and review each other’s work. I learned so much in such a short time, and every module felt purposeful.

I also had the opportunity to work in the university’s kit room, surrounded by professional-grade cameras and equipment every day. It was like hitting two birds with one stone—I was earning money to support myself while also gaining practical skills, like preparing kits for shoots. That experience directly helped me secure my current role as a Digital Content Officer at the University of Greenwich.

One of the projects I’m most proud of is a short film called Basement Dwellers, which I created right after graduating. It went on to win Best Film at a local film festival—a moment that really confirmed the skills and confidence I gained during my time at the university.
