Company

Greenwich is an exciting and rewarding place to work. We are fortunate to have three campuses located in South East London and Kent and is the largest university in the capital by student numbers. The University of Greenwich Estate is comprised of a mix of 17th Century, Grade I listed buildings designed by Christopher Wren and award-winning modern buildings, of which one was shortlisted for the Sterling Prize. In Medway we have recently completed the conversion of a Victorian Swimming Baths into a social space for the students of Greenwich, Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University.
