Greenwich is the Best University In London
The Sunday Times commented that:
“Greenwich is one of the leading post-1992 institutions for the value
of its contract research and consultancy work, which brought in almost
£35m over the past three years as a result of its expertise in areas
from computer modelling and software development to electronics
manufacturing, drug delivery and food management. One of the
university’s research breakthroughs was recently named by British
academics as one of the 10 most important discoveries made by a UK
university over the past 60 years. Greenwich’s scientists developed an
artificial cow that attracts and kills tsetse flies, which transmit
the deadly sleeping sickness. It has led to a dramatic fall in
outbreaks of the disease which kills thousands of people in Africa.

works with national and multinational companies such as Atkins,
Pfizer, Powergen and BAE Systems, as well as smaller businesses, to
help solve practical industry problems and it is involved in several
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) which enable recently qualified
graduates to work on challenging projects with companies.”
