Overview

The University of Greenwich dates back to 1890, when Woolwich Polytechnic opened in Woolwich as the second-oldest polytechnic in the UK. In 1970 it merged with part of Hammersmith College of Art and Building to form Thames Polytechnic, and in 1992 it was granted university status and renamed the University of Greenwich in 1993. Today Greenwich is a university with campuses in London and Kent, offering degrees in business, engineering, science, health, education, humanities and the social sciences. It is known for professional and vocational teaching, with placements, live projects and industry links built into many courses, and for its research in areas such as natural resources, engineering and health. In 2001 the university moved its main campus from Woolwich to the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the River Thames. Its Greenwich campus is one of the most historic university settings in the UK, with baroque buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
