University of Greenwich

The University of Greenwich offers the best of both worlds, city and country. As a student you are on the doorstep of London, but with the cream of Kent - rolling hills, pub-to-pub walks, seaside resorts and historic sites - not far away.

Education is about breadth as well as depth. It is about places and people, sights and heritage as well as books and keyboards. So let us tell you a little about how we were born and how we have grown.

Each year the university offers its most distinguished buildings as part of the London Open House architectural festival, an event enabling the public to appreciate some of the capital’s architectural gems.

The university also takes part in the annual Greenwich and Docklands International Festival, a celebration of music, theatre, dance and other performing arts in and around the borough. Our ongoing support of Black History Month has brought a range of special events to the Greenwich Campus, including talks, presentations and exhibitions.

Also on the Greenwich Campus, the Stephen Lawrence Gallery showcases the work of artists from all backgrounds. Recent exhibitions include Trace, a work examining the processes of memory, and Candy Pop and Juicy Lucy, staged within an ice cream van, and inspired by the artist's childhood memories of her father's job selling ice creams.

Students and staff have the opportunity to engage with the arts by performing with the university band, which plays music from the Swing era, and with the university choir.
