“Okay but could be much better”

Alp Y

United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019

Overall

The University of Greenwich do have nice facilities and is located in a nice, convenient location in South-East London. There a many good teachers in the business department however the course International Business does not have great classes. They offer exchange abroad via Erasmus but only in Europe where other universities have options in the Americas & Asia.

Pros

Location. Erasmus.

Cons

Cost. Classes (International Business)

It was very useful to go abroad to learn the host country's language. However, teachers didn't take into account that I was not English native speaker when they had to assess my courseworks

“University of Greenwich was responsible for many of my achievements”

Giovanna C

Italy, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019

Overall

If I could describe Greenwich in three words, they would be: supportive, full of projects/initiatives and creative.
This university not only taught me business related topics, but also how to improve personal aspects in order to be more effective at the workplace. We also had the opportunity of having mentors from different areas and companies (including big ones such as J P Morgan and Barclays).
Last but not least, its Business School Employability Office provided help with CV, cover letters and other basic necessities to find a job. Students were given workshops, interactive activities,...
And of course the best part was having abroad opportunities with summer schools and the Erasmus program.
And if students had an entrepreneur spirit, they could also create their own companies and present it at the University’s annual competition!
I miss uni! Thank you Greenwich and BSEO for being part of my academic life.

Pros

The uni was very supportive with the students’ personal and professional growth. A lot of opportunities were offered, including studying abroad

Cons

Hard to say. Maybe having more HR related activities and workshops
