The administrative
staff are really friendly
and professional and
deal with any matter you
have immediately. And
the lecturers have to be the
greatest thing of all: they
always relate what youre
reading or studying to what
happens in real life. That way
youre clear about how real
working environments are
different from the theory.
They always have time to talk,
too theyre approachable,
helpful, challenging, inspiring
and they manage to personalise
your learning, too. The staff are
a huge benefit for the College.

Why study in
London?
Both our campuses are close
to everything that makes
London such a magnet for
visitors: its culture, creativity,
entertainment and, of course,
its commerce and business.
Many of our academic staff
have had business careers in
London. This means that our
teaching is strongly focused on
building your employability and
contributing to your career.
London is one of the liveliest
cultural centres in the world. It
has more film, music, comedy,
theatre, art and museums on
offer than almost anywhere else
in Europe. This is the aspect
of London life that draws most
tourists to London.

Our Greenwich Campus,
in south-east London, is in
the heart of historic Royal
Greenwich, famous for its
park, its buildings and its
lively, youthful atmosphere.
The College itself is based
in an Art Deco building, in
perfect position in the centre of
Greenwich and its impressive
range of shops, market stalls,
and eating and meeting places.
We have a broad range of
students: daytime courses
attract full-time students from
the UK and across the world;
evening courses, mostly parttime, are for London-based
managers who want to take their
careers further and for students
who want to establish theirs. And
at the weekend we run courses
for executive students, most of
whom are already working at top
management level.
