15 Our campuses Greenwich Campus The university’s largest campus is at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and centres on three magnifi cent 17th-century buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The campus is often recognised for its stunning setting. It features in Times Higher Education’s 10 Most Beautiful Campuses in the UK and appears regularly as a backdrop on fi lm and TV. The past few years have seen major developments on the campus. In 2018, the university completed a £25 million conversion of Dreadnought Building. This former library is now a central hub for students, with a café, gym and facilities for the Students’ Union. The building also provides a range of fl exible, multi-purpose teaching spaces, as well as specialist teaching facilities for the Faculty of Education, Health & Human Sciences. Our library facilities are now in our Stockwell Street Building. The building’s contemporary design and imaginative use of space, which includes 14 roof gardens, have received many plaudits since it opened in 2014, including a RIBA London Award. The campus is home to the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the Faculty of Business. Part of the Faculty of Education, Health & Human Sciences is also based here. The campus’s location, just across the river from Canary Wharf, is a major selling point for many of our students. We offer a range of accommodation in and around Greenwich town centre, including halls set aside for postgraduate and mature students.

17 Medway Campus Medway Campus is located in Chatham Maritime, Kent, about 30 miles from central London. A former naval base, the campus is close to the River Medway and Chatham’s Historic Dockyard. The majority of students on campus study engineering or science degrees, but Medway also provides health courses in subjects such as speech and language therapy and paramedic science. Medway School of Pharmacy, a partnership between the Universities of Greenwich and Kent, opened in 2004 to address the shortage of pharmacists in south-east England. The Natural Resources Institute attracts students from across the world and is a leader in food, agricultural and environmental research. On-campus facilities include an extensive library, gym and a sports hall. The Deep End, a £5 million student centre with a café and bar, is a focal point for social activities on campus. Five halls of residence enable students to get from their accommodation to lectures in only a few minutes. An inter-campus bus service links Medway with the university’s other campuses.
