Drawing inspiration from the insights of our second-year student, Kristofer, we’re here to offer you a student perspective on why Greenwich stands out as an excellent choice for those eager to step into the world of Languages and International Relations!
Study at a UNESCO World Heritage Site
It doesn't come as much of a surprise that Greenwich is a fascinating location - preserving a range of heritage-rich surroundings. A great source of inspiration for our students, Kristofer shares how studying at Greenwich offers the chance to immerse yourself in some of the most historic and important buildings in London – a perfect fit for museum enthusiasts!
“If you’re a museum-goer you’ll love the fact that the university has museums right in its backyard”
Develop a Range of Transferable Skills
As a Languages and International Relations student, you’ll get the chance to build a diverse set of transferable skills, making you stand out to future employers. Kristofer highlights how studying French as part of his course, emphasises the importance of student’s cross-cultural communication. (Note: The BA Languages and International programme offers students the chance to study up to two languages).
London City Status
The University’s location within London, a global city and a hub for politics, trade and culture, is a significant advantage - Kristofer shares how this city status provides students with access to “...a wide range of organisations, internships, career opportunities and professionals.”
Join a Diverse Range of Societies
Kristofer shares “The university has a massive range of societies, from cultural and ethnic societies to political ones, like the Model United Nations, Law and Labour societies.” As a university student, student societies are a great way to interact and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Our diverse community, here at Greenwich, gives you a wide pool of options to choose from!
Great Transport Links
Greenwich’s great location, just a few stops from Central London, offers our students the best of both worlds! Starting University here means enjoying the serene campus, while having the vibrant city buzz within easy reach. With transport links connecting you to the rest of London, Kristofer highlights “...you’re only a few stops away from everything London has to offer, with Canary Wharf - that’s across the river!”
We hope Kristofer’s insights inspire you to consider pursuing a Languages and International Relations course at Greenwich!
