University of Greenwich

One of the most prestigious universities in London, Greenwich will celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2020. It is ranked 107th in the UK, and the QS World University Rankings 2019/2020 places it 701st. Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF) rated 41% of the university's research as world-leading and internationally excellent. Some of the key areas in which the university is strong are digital and creative arts, law, engineering, science, mathematics, business (including finance, accounting and economics), architecture, computing, humanities, nursing, midwifery, public health, education and pharmacy. Greenwich has a long history of solving problems for governments, charities, industry and other partners, offering expertise in computer engineering and natural resources. The university offers a range of volunteering opportunities that help students enrich their CVs. University staff advise students on a wide range of issues - academic, personal, housing and financial. The university's Jobshop offers a variety of job opportunities both on and off campus and helps students find work placements.

London is the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom. The history of London and its landmarks cannot be described in a few sentences, but the city is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the world. It has it all - pubs and parks, theaters and cinemas, shops and sights, museums and art galleries; London has something for every taste. Life in the capital, however, can seem a bit expensive for the average student, especially when it comes to housing. The fast-paced lifestyle can both excite and exhaust you, but if you know how to strike a balance between enjoying life and not going broke, London is the ideal place to be a student.
