You get to study in one of the most exciting and culturallydiverse cities in the world, with easy travel access to the rest of Europe; there’s nothing like it! My time at the University of Greenwich was an amazing experience. From the academics to the social activities there was never a slow moment. I can’t wait to come back!

From the picturesque buildings of the Greenwich campus designed by Sir Christopher Wren to the top notch academics I found the University of Greenwich to be the perfect blend of history and innovation.

Thoughts from a US alum....

Thoughts from US employers...“Cultural Awareness, Sensitivity and Tolerance” and an “International Perspective” Top List of Attributes Valued by HR Execs in Candidates Who’ve Studied Abroad There are now even more reasons for college students to consider studying abroad. A new survey of global human resource executives released today affirmed the value of a study abroad experience in the hiring process. Nearly three in four (73%) cited study abroad as important when evaluating the resumé of a job candidate for a junior–level position.

 

Furthermore, the study, conducted by Global HR News and commissioned by The Scholar Ship, showed that 8 in 10 of the HR executives surveyed believed that a study abroad experience was an important factor for overseas job placement within their companies.
