About the University
The University of Greenwich is a major modern UK university. Its three campuses extend from Maritime Greenwich to Medway, serving South East London, Kent Thames-side and West Kent. The Kings Hill Institute in West Malling, Kent is a centre for Continuing Professional Development.
The university aims to combine the best of the "old" and "new" university traditions, combining strong regional links and a mission for access and lifelong learning with research excellence and an international role.
The university has achieved considerable growth in the last decade, to become a major player in the region. Student numbers, including those enrolled at partner colleges, have increased over the last 12 years to a total of 18,250 in 2001/2002. Income has also grown; turnover is close to £100 million.
Students benefit from being taught in a research environment where staff share expertise and specialist facilities. We set high standards for teaching quality and provide professional training opportunities for all our lecturers.
Extensive student support services include our new Disability and Dyslexia Centre which works with over 700 students. Many of our black and other ethnic minority students participate in our pioneering mentoring scheme which pairs them with highfliers in the City and elsewhere.
