Greenwich Students are the most satisfied in London

Well this is interesting. According to Docklands magazine, Students at Greenwich University are more satisfied than the rest of the capital.

They've come in 26th in a national league table, putting them higher

than any other university in London on factors such as teaching and

personal development. Medical science and pharmacy are the top degree

subjects (which is impressive, I think they're taught on the not very

pretty Avery Hill campus in Eltham).

Additionally The Sunday Times has put Greenwich in the top quarter of UK universities for highest salaries on graduation.

I'm impressed. Greenwich hasn't always had the best reputation. Being a

poly-technic before it became a University, I always felt there was some

snobbery around that. And I've since seen first hand just how much the

change in economy has affected the teaching there. The more unique

humanities courses are no more, and instead Greenwich seem to be

concentrating their efforts on the science and business classes. They're

the ones where the students do well, make league tables look good and,

if we're being honest, get the international students in.

I'm always happy when Greenwich University is doing well. But I hope

they concentrate on improving the other areas of the college, rather

than pooling their resources into courses already doing well.
