University of Greenwich
Description
Whole people, not brains on legs
You probably want to go to university for a lot of different reasons. Getting a good job is usually high on the list of priorities; so is getting more deeply into the subject you loved at school, but just as important is the chance that university offers you to spread your wings a bit, get away from home and make your own decisions about your life and future.
Universities aren't in the business of turning out brains on legs, we're interested in the whole person. At the University of Greenwich, we provide plenty of extra-curricular activities, such as clubs and societies, where you can develop your interests and meet new people. Our clubs, bars, cafés and coffee shops are great venues for getting to know fellow students from some of the hundred plus countries represented at the university.
Sport is a great way of expanding your horizons: you may remember that team spirit and determination at school, but then you were playing football, netball or rugby, now you can try something a bit different, like American football or rowing.
Your academic life will stretch you as well. You’ll learn negotiation skills (and patience!) on team exercises, and how to stand up and argue your point in tutorials; and you’ll need plenty of organisation to get that essay in on time.
Olufunke Olajide, a BSc Hons Biomedical Science student, speaks for many: 'My experience at university has developed my confidence and self belief, as well as my independence.' That, plus a first-rate education, is what university’s about.
