The University of Greenwich traces its roots back to 1890 and offers the best of both worlds - city and country. As a student you are on the doorstep of London, but with the rolling hill, walking trails, seaside resorts and historic sites of Kent not far away.

London, the home of the 2012 Olympics, is the capital of England situated in the south-east of the country and virtually on the doorstep of our Maritime Greenwich Campus and Avery Hill Campus. It is a thriving city, not to be missed, offering a host of events and tourist attractions to visit: from the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben.

In addition to all the shops and restaurants to enjoy while you are there, London is not only a place to visit and to socialise with friends but also offers opportunities to aid your studies and cultural knowledge. Whether it is science, history, fashion or art and design that interest you, there are museums, galleries (many of which are free to visit) and libraries including the British Library where you can carry out research in your field.
