Student profiles

“Having spent 14 years in the civil service, it was really important that I came into a kind of atmosphere where I would be supported in my learning and that I’d have a really good future career.”

“The University of Greenwich has professional and highly intellectual teachers who are supportive in teaching and expand students’ knowledge and understanding. The students are always commenting that the University of Greenwich has good teaching facilities that enable students to have a high understanding rate. A lot of graduates have won different prizes in subjects such as physics and art. I'm enjoying being a biotechnology student due to the supportive way the teachers teach various subjects and the way they encourage students to do tutorials and assessments.”

“There are a number of day trips that take place on the Thames Gateway. There are also field trips to the New Forest, the Lake District and to Spain.”

“I would thoroughly recommend studying at University of Greenwich. The level of academic skill and support is excellent and the new facilities at Medway are great. The two degrees I completed at Greenwich have provided me with invaluable knowledge and skills, both technical and personal, which I have put to good use since starting my new job last year. I really enjoyed my time spent at University and made some life-long friendships there.”

“After graduating with an MSc in Environmental Conservation at Greenwich, I was focused on getting a developmental country perspective in ecology and so I returned home, to India. Armed with my MSc degree from Greenwich, I had my pick of jobs from the best environment research institutes in the country that are also renowned around the world. It has been a little over three years since I graduated and have been working in and researching biodiversity conservation, natural resources management and climate change. I remain very happy with the choice I made to travel afar, and study at Greenwich, which gave me an international perspective, empowered my knowledge base and was definitely an experience of a lifetime!”
