The University of Greenwich has around 100 students from Ghana studying foundation, undergraduate (Bachelor) degree, and postgraduate (Master’s) degree programmes. In fact we are one of the top recruiters of Ghanian students in the UK, HESA 2010.

To join our programmes you will need to meet both academic and English language entry requirements before you start the programme. You need not wait until you satisfy all the entry requirements before you apply to study with us.
