The University of Greenwich offers diverse opportunities for staff training and development. Make use of courses on offer to further your learning.
As part of our commitment to maintaining its high standards, we run an extensive staff development programme, which offers a range of development events on areas we feel are of interest and relevance to staff.
Your Learning and Development
We take pride in developing our people so they can best contribute to our mission of transforming lives through inspired teaching and research. Our values underpin how we develop our people to achieve this mission.
We firmly believe that development works both ways, and encourage all staff to share their knowledge and expertise through the work they carry out, and by fully participating in the University community and its networks. Within a culture of continuous improvement, we invite staff to actively develop their job roles, pursue their career aims and fulfil their potential.
Development opportunities
