The student support is really amazing which makes the student life much easier. The university is quite diverse and it's nice to meet new people all across the world. The facilities are great as well.

The course is mainly in-class. Lectures are helpful. I love lab days cause I like working in the lab.

University of Greenwich focuses a lot on diversity and inclusion. There are a lot of services available in relation to that, wellbeing, inclusion plans and other things to make your experience at the University more manageable/enjoyable. There are plenty of opportunities for learning and discovering and I have felt right at home from the beginning. I tend to feel like an outsider but the environment and support here has been great. I tend to be an independent worker and both during my masters and now during my PhD I have gotten plenty of opportunity to work both with others and to work by myself. This helped me develop better team working and working with others but given me the space to choose how much I want to do independently myself. One aspect I have had repeated issues with is the fact that the university's beaurocracy is a very slow progres and I have had to wait extended periods of time for replies or help with different things in relation to application, registration, feedback & hierarchical matters.

I have started my PhD only recently, but I have had ample opportunities and communication about facilities and courses and support. During your Phd you are doing a lot of independent work so contact with supervisor and what courses or sessions you follow are mainly up to yourself. I feel there are extended amounts of resources on every step of this course
