Business Support

One hundred years of innovation, strong links to industry and commerce, complemented by research excellence and an international agenda are what make the University of Greenwich a leading modern university – a fact recognised by the Queen’s Anniversary Award for Higher & Further Education in 2000.

Add to this a resource base of:

  • highly qualified staff with wide ranging expertise and significant links with business and industry;

  • 18,000 students, one fifth of whom are postgraduates, looking to make a significant contribution to the economy that surrounds them;

  • campuses spread across South East London and North Kent incorporating a wide range of specialist facilities and meeting/conference rooms;

and it is clear that we are ideally placed to respond to the needs of businesses and organisations both along the Thames Gateway and beyond.

Where Are We?

With campuses in South East London (Greenwich Maritime, Avery Hill) and North Kent (Medway & Kings Hill) there is easy access to our services and facilities for local businesses right along the Thames Gateway.

But location is no barrier. Many of our services can be provided on your site and we work with organisations not only in the South East but across the country and throughout the world.

What Can We Do For You?

We offer a wide range of services to businesses and organisations of all sizes:

Problem Solving

We can investigate, identify and propose solutions to problems with your business processes, products and systems through the use of short student projects, analytical services, consultancy or contract research.

Consultancy

With a large pool of specialist staff, experienced across a large number of industry sectors and business functions, we can provide a wide range of consultancy services at a level to suit your needs. Whether it’s a short consultancy on materials testing or a major business process re-engineering we have access to expert advisers who can help your business.

Recruitment

From student projects to work placements, or the recruitment of graduates, our students are one of our major resources and are the workforce of tomorrow. We offer a range of ways in which you can utilise them to help your business. In many cases this service is free or heavily subsidised.

Training

Training and development is appropriate to people at all levels of your business, and offers the ongoing benefits of more flexible staff, greater productivity and improved staff retention. We are able to help you identify training needs and either provide the training or find a suitable training provider.

We specialise in continuous professional development across a wide range of specialisms and in delivering programmes in a flexible way that enables easy access and minimum disruption to busy work schedules.
