These enable us to constantly revise our courses to reflect the changing needs of industry. Many of our courses are accredited and recognised by relevant professional bodies, which can increase your opportunities for notable career progression.

You can also get a head start on your career path through securing work placements. Previous opportunities have included roles with Ford Motor, Cummins Power Generation, Pfizer, the NHS (National Health Service), UN, wildlife, conservation and NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organisations).

We offer taught MSc courses in civil and environmental engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, engineering management, oil, gas and shipping, and mechanical engineering. You can also study an MSc by research or an MPhil/PhD at the School of Engineering.

“As an international student the cultural experience was something that I definitely enjoyed, it wasn’t hard to settle as I never felt alone and support was always there, I now feel well prepared for careers in academia as well as in industry” Ahmad Taha, School of Engineering.

This is an exciting time to be joining the School of Science at the University of Greenwich. We are delighted to offer a range of stimulating, cutting edge interdisciplinary courses, taught by internationally leading experts in their fields. The new ‘with industrial experience’ courses are a particularly exciting development for the School, where postgraduate students in their second year, will get to put into practice, in the workplace, the skills and methods that they have been learning at university in year one. 

We also offer degrees in a broad range of sciences, including agricultural science, biological and biomedical science, environmental science, food science and pharmacy. Within the Faculty is the Natural Resources Institute, a multidisciplinary research and teaching centre. It also includes the Medway School of Pharmacy, a collaboration with the University of Kent which is recognised by the General Pharmaceutical Council. You will develop your analytical and practical capabilities in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

“I find it really exciting being taught by someone who has just come back from a farming community in Malawi or presenting at an international conference and is giving us the latest knowledge on how our subject is being applied in the world. It is really hands-on from the start, with regular field trips, laboratory work and data analysis”. Katie James, Natural Resources Institute.
