Go East! - Discover some of the best Universities

We’re not talking exotic far flung shores when recommending you consider an eastern adventure…more suggesting that you sample what the UK’s eastern towns have to offer when thinking about your uni choices.

The East Midlands and East Anglia are home to some of the best universities in the country and it’s fair to say they have the nightlife to match. With some of the best pubs and clubs in the UK, it’s no wonder thousands of students every year choose to go East!

You may be getting mixed messages about studying Modern Foreign Languages. Every summer there is news of the declining numbers of students taking a language at GCSE. When this became optional in 2004, many voted to abandon language learning which they found “too boring” or “too hard”.

Volunteering Website Launches for V-inspired Young People

 
The staff at Greenwich were very understanding and guided me in the right direction.  I started on the HND for my first year, really enjoyed it in terms of the topics I studied and the great friends that I met, so after my first year I joined  the degree program. Admittedly it was difficult, especially meeting coursework deadlines, but it was worth it. I had a great time, especially as I look back on it now.

Greenwich University IT Profile: Amy Frost

I choose to do my degree in Information Systems at the University of Greenwich because the course description seemed to suit me perfectly. I wanted to do an IT degree, but I didn’t want to spend hour upon hour writing computer code and programmes. It turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, and helped me develop skills beyond the technical IT world. Various coursework’s and team building exercises allowed us all to build on important softer skills too; time management, working in and leading a team, organisational skills and communication skills to name just a few.
