Beautiful locations with great facilities
The university’s Faculty of Engineering and Science is shared across the Greenwich Campus in Greenwich, London, and the Medway Campus in Chatham, Kent. The university’s School of Science, School of Engineering, Natural Resources Institute and Medway School of Pharmacy are based at Medway, while the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences and most of the university’s construction courses are based at Greenwich. London is consistently ranked in the top 3 as the best student city in the world (QS Top Universities, Best Student Cities, 2026), while Medway is a unique location that has direct transport links to Central London as well as the Kent countryside and Great British Coast.
Both campuses have a rich history behind them and have been used as filming locations for big films and TV shows. Excellent facilities including laboratories and workshops can be found at Medway, while advanced computer labs complement games and computing teaching on the Greenwich Campus. The Faculty is also always investing. This year sees the opening of our newly upgraded engineering and IT facilities at the Medway Campus, designed to give you the modern, industry‑standard learning experience you need to succeed.
Connecting the two campuses is the university’s inter-campus bus service, which means Faculty of Engineering and Science students can make the most of facilities and opportunities at both campuses. Both campuses have 24/7 security and on-site accommodation.
Student satisfaction
Student satisfaction for many Faculty of Engineering and Science courses has been noteworthy. Civil engineering is ranked a top 10 UK university for satisfaction with teaching (Guardian League Table 2026) whilst 100% of BSc (Hons) Computing students feel that teaching staff are good at explaining things (National Student Survey 2025).
100% of students studying Forensic Science BSc Hons feel that their course challenges them to do their best work. (National Student Survey 2025). Many graduates have gone on to share their stories about Greenwich and the careers they have today.
What I enjoy most is that the course is technical but also very practical. It’s satisfying because you can see the purpose of what you’re studying; it isn’t just theory.

The Faculty also boasts a strong reputation for research, which students can get involved with, for example Associate Head of School of Science Professor Joshua Boateng has supervised project students interested in his research into drug delivery technologies.
Students are encouraged to enhance their employability skills by taking advantage of the university’s Employability and Careers Service or Student Ambassador Scheme, or by attending events throughout the year including careers fairs, expert-led lectures and networking and industry events. Students can also embark upon a placement year.
I am genuinely proud that the University of Greenwich offers one of the strongest and most supportive Student Ambassador programmes in the UK. Because of this, I often recommend both the University and the Ambassador scheme to prospective students, as my involvement has had a profoundly positive impact on my student journey.

Inclusivity is a key Greenwich value
One of the key values of the University of Greenwich is inclusivity. Students have praised the inclusivity they have witnessed and have valued being a part of the welcoming, culturally diverse community of staff and students at Greenwich.
The support from the lecturers and students is immense and I am grateful. The University of Greenwich is more than a university that focuses just on the degree.
