University of Greenwich Placements

University of Greenwich stands out when Overseas Education Consultants in India look for universities that actually deliver placements and real work experience to international students, not just promises on the website.

The university sits right on the Thames, 15 minutes from Canary Wharf and 25 minutes from the City of London by DLR, that location itself is a massive advantage because top employers in finance, tech, logistics and media are literally on the doorstep. Companies like Barclays, HSBC, PwC, IBM, GSK, and the BBC recruit directly from Greenwich campuses every year through dedicated career fairs and placement drives that are open to international students exactly the same way as home students.

Greenwich guarantees a placement year option on more than 85 % of undergraduate courses and most business, computing and engineering master’s come with optional or compulsory 9-12 month paid placements. Average placement salary for international students sits around £22,000-£28,000 per year, and many convert these placements into graduate roles because the employer already knows them.

The in-house Employability & Careers team runs visa-friendly placement schemes, helps with Tier 4/Student visa compliance during placement year, and even supports CVs and mock interviews tailored for non-UK students. Last year more than 1,200 international students secured placements in London and south-east companies.

Because the university is not in central London, living costs stay lower (£9,000-£11,000 per year) while students still work in London postcodes. That combination of genuine placement opportunities, employer connections, and visa support is why Overseas Education Consultants in India across Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat and South India keep University of Greenwich as the safest “placement plus two-year PSW” option for average to good profiles.
