Care Leavers
At Greenwich, we want to support all care experienced students, no matter how long you have been in care for. We recognise the additional difficulties face, which is why the University offers support from application stage to graduation. The University has created a leaflet that provides information on guidance and support.
Applying to Greenwich
The University offer consideration to applications from care leavers, support for choosing the right course and help in attending events and visits to the campus. Find out more here or by emailing careleavers@greenwich.ac.uk.
