Run by Oxford International Education Group, the University of Greenwich International College prepares students for Greenwich degrees on the university's Greenwich campus, in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College. It offers an international foundation year, a first-year degree route and a pre-master's for students who don't yet meet direct entry. Groups are small, and English and study skills are part of every week.
