Mete Coban MBE: Politician. Chief Executive. Football scout


During his time at Greenwich, Mete mentioned on how his politics lecturer challenged his views and made him think to find clarity of purpose. That’s when he decided to stand as a councillor.

Since graduating, I've been fortunate to secure a job as a Digital Content Assistant at Harper Collins Publishers and the skills and confidence acquired at Greenwich have helped me in my position. My degree was full of fond memories, for which I am grateful.
