ABOUT US: About Greenwich - University of Greenwich
OVERVIEW NIGERIA: Nigeria - Country specific guides - University of Greenwich

The University of Greenwich has approximately 600 students from Nigeria studying foundation, undergraduate (Bachelor’s) degree, and postgraduate (Master’s) degree programmes. The university is one of the most popular in the UK for Nigerian students (HESA 2010). Our wide-range of engineering, business and computing programmes are especially popular with Nigerians.
However, Greenwich is also renowned for science, maritime, architecture and construction, natural resources, health and social care and humanities and social sciences programmes.
Almost all of our postgraduate degrees are just one year long and undergraduate degrees are three years long. The average cost of tuition for one year is less than £10,000. We are confident that financially you will be satisfied. Indeed, we also award every Nigerian an addition £1,000, given in the form of a course fee reduction.
With a large Nigerian community in the greater London and south-east area, you are sure to feel quickly at home.
