The University of Greenwich is a British university located in the London Borough of Greenwich, London, England and was founded in 1890. The main campus is the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College: the centre piece of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site. The University of Greenwich provides students and researchers with a great campus atmosphere: The royal courts at Maritime Greenwich, the Victorian library in Eltham and the ivy clad buildings at Medway. The University of Greenwich benefits from a stunning campus environment, rivalling the spires of Oxford ; the prestigious old Royal Naval College on the Greenwich waterfront, yet well connected to central London by underground and train services.
