More of a student union type place at the avery hill campus
There have been difficulties with communication from certain faculties to the students, but there have also been some lecturers who have been extremely supportive who have helped me with both educational and mental issues I have had, especially in the third year.
Be proactive in supporting yourself. Much prefer face to face drop ins. Every service seems to be online.

Nice place to study, with friendly staff and plenty of support for students. It has a diverse student body, and I enjoyed the teaching. The only downside is that some of the lecture rooms are a bit hard to find.
I’m having a great experience persuading my Bachelors in Computer Science here
The campus is really nice and appealing to look at. Along the river is Canary Wharf, where many aspire to work as it is the pinnacle of industries in London. The university offers some interesting modules and pleasant studying facilities. However, some of the lecturers seem very rigid and stick to their PowerPoints, without offering their own knowledge and expertise that could make the lectures more exciting, unique and helpful. The University also does not have many connections to help the students for industry work experience such as placements and internships, which is a major detriment determined students who wish to succeed in the future, where securing graduate roles is already difficult as it is.
The best aspects are the course lecturers being approachable and you being able to communicate anything you may be struggling with to them. However student services can lack professionalism and patience at times; also, the facilities feel very outdated for what we are paying
Best - beautiful campus, modern library, good lecturers. Worst - difficult to make friends in London, sometimes the uni admin takes a long time.

What makes the University of Greenwich a great place to study Animation is the tutors who are always there to teach us new lessons and are always there to support us and make sure we succeed. Also, we get software licences so we can do the work at home, and there are lots of opportunities in the course. Plus, the area in Greenwich is a good place to look around on our break, and there are some great clubs to join and make some friends.
Best aspects One of the best things about studying at the University of Greenwich is the beautiful campus and historic buildings, which create a really unique and inspiring environment to study in. The lecturers are generally supportive and the student community is diverse and friendly, which helps you feel welcome. Worst aspects: One downside is the location for some students, as commuting can take quite a long time and transport can be expensive, which can make attending early lectures or staying late on campus more difficult.
the campus is a great place to study due to its history and fascinating buildings, the staff and students are always friendly and are always helpful too. I don’t think there is anything to improve!
The university has very supportive teachers and great facilities that are easy to access and get around. Getting to classes is easy and the campus look is really nice and gives off a historical type of vibe. I don’t really know much about student life outside my classes since I don’t go out much but hearing from my friends that go there there isn’t a shortage of opportunities for students to put themselves out there. I don’t really have bad things or things I don’t like about the university to say off the top of my head because I really have no problems. The assignments and exams I get are reasonable and I can’t complain because that’s what is expected of a university student. The university of Greenwich makes things very affordable for students which is really nice. With free busses and coffee isn’t overpriced and their accommodation which I’m planning to go to next semester is a bit expensive but also a price which is reasonable. I’ve made so many new friends at the uni and we’ve had so many good experiences together and yeah I guess that’s it.
The campus is very nice and close to shops, and the park.
I really like the vibe of the University, I'm on the Avery Hill campus and I feel like it's very conductive to studying. There's a lot of spaces made available for students to use and I feel like this is especially helpful to students that have a more hectic home life. I really like knowing I can come in and there are so many different spaces to study in.
As an international student, when I chose the University of Greenwich I was captivated by the Maritime Campus. It looks beautiful and really gives you that London university feeling. However, later I realised that because I chose Biomedical Science, my campus is actually in Medway. Medway is quite a dull place and it is far from London, so you can’t really expect the kind of student life you might imagine experiencing in London. It feels very different from what many international students expect when they think about studying at Greenwich. If I talk about the subject facilities, I would rate them around 3/5. They are not the worst, but they are not particularly great either. Overall, it’s decent but there is definitely room for improvement. I would say that if you are choosing this course, make sure you are comfortable living or studying in Medway. It’s honestly not very practical to travel from London to Medway 4–5 days a week for university.
The best part about the University of Greenwich is definitely the campus and the atmosphere. Studying at the Old Royal Naval College feels incredibly inspiring, and the facilities are modern despite the historic setting. The Students' Union is very active and there is a real sense of community through the various societies, which made it easy to settle in and meet new people. On the downside, being in London means the cost of living can be quite high, and the commute between different campus sites or buildings can sometimes be a bit of a trek. However, the teaching staff are generally very supportive, and the career services provide great networking opportunities that make the investment feel worth it. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for both academic and social life.
I think the best part of my university experience has been the amount of opportunities I've had in terms of my learning and outside student life. My teachers have also been absolutely amazing and so helpful. I feel like we are given excellent direction on assignments and we aren't just left to do it on our own and figure it out ourselves. However, I think the university could be improved in terms of support for GIP students. As a GIP student, I feel like I do not have great access to my own attendance and on multiple occasions it has been a struggle to get authorised absences for myself. I feel like the system for reporting absences needs to be simpler and it makes me anxious knowing some of my absences are red when they shouldn't be as my medical condition has made it impossible to get into class that day. I had one meeting with a lady before I started the university where we went over things like absences and then I never heard from her again? She said she would sort out implications for me so it would be easier to get time off and not be penalised for it but I never heard from her again.
The lecturers just read the slides and dont explain much

It offers a full range of courses relating to Science. And in the course that I am currently doing, the modules have been changed to be more reflective of what employers want when you graduate, as well as it being reflective of core skills needed for almost every aspect of Biology and Chemistry.
There is a mix of labs, workshops and lectures, which I find useful for each and every aspect of my course. There are also tutorials for each of the modules once a week, which helps consolidate learning.
The halls are practical and provide the basics for living. It's not worth the price however.
