Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Greenwich

Studying Formulation Science at the University of Greenwich has been one of the most rewarding academic experiences I have had. One of the best aspects of the programme is its strong balance between theoretical foundations and practical, industry-relevant skills. The modules are thoughtfully designed to cover key areas such as pharmaceutics, material science, analytical techniques, and product development, which helps build a solid understanding of both the science and the application behind formulations. The laboratory sessions are particularly valuable—well-structured, hands-on, and supported by experienced technicians who ensure students can confidently work with a variety of equipment and techniques used in real industry settings.

Another highlight is the supportive academic team. Lecturers are approachable, passionate about their fields, and willing to provide guidance whenever needed. Their feedback is constructive and genuinely helps improve both scientific understanding and research skills. The university’s diverse student community also creates a welcoming learning environment where collaboration and shared experiences strengthen personal and academic growth.

However, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved. At times, access to certain specialised instruments can be limited due to demand, leading to scheduling challenges during busy periods. Increasing the availability of advanced analytical tools would enhance the practical components even further. Some modules could also benefit from more structured links to current industry case studies or guest lectures from professionals working in formulation across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or materials science. This would help bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations.

Overall, the University of Greenwich offers a strong and engaging Formulation Science programme with excellent teaching and practical training. With a few enhancements to resources and industry integration, it has the potential to become an even more exceptional place to study.

UoG is a great place to study because it yakes care of students weven when they have been unwell, they give time and resources too help with this. It has great facilities and the built environment is the best I have seen. It has repurposed buildings, some 300 years old, and made them into modern spaces inside. read full review

The university of Greenwich is very supportive to her students both academically and morally. I think it could be improved more with just some extra curriculum activities and sport centers in the campus read full review

Best aspects:
Greenwich has a great campus vibe, supportive lecturers, and really good study resources. The diversity on campus also makes the whole experience more enriching.

Worst aspects / improvements:
Communication can be slow at times, and student services get overwhelmed during busy periods. Some modules could use more real-world, industry-focused examples. read full review

I didn’t really enjoy my experience. As an international student, I didn’t feel included or supported enough, which made it difficult to feel part of the university community. It often felt like support and inclusion efforts were focused mainly on specific cultural groups, while white international students were left out, as if we didn’t also want to feel a sense of belonging. I also felt disappointed that we didn’t get to engage much with the local English culture. read full review
