3 best things about studying at Greenwich

  • The professors are fantasic, friendly and always willing to help
  • The opportunities offered at the University are amazing. I studied in Spain on Erasmus, I did my placement year in Jamaica and my Master's in France.
  • The students are diverse and friendly.

What Challenges have you faced and how have you overcome them?

Since starting higher education, I have suffered with imposter syndrome and lacking confidence in my writing. The professors at Greenwich go out their way to ensure students are happy and comfortable whilst studying at the university. In my case, the professors helped me find my confidence by offering one-to-one's, and helping me reach my potential with their feedback on my work.

What are your career goals?

My passion is consumer behaviour, I would like to continue to contribute to the research in my future. I am also interested in bringing our findings to the industry. I think theoretical implementation is something lacking in businesses, I would like to change that.
