Dr Birthe Nielsen, programme leader with the University's Faculty of Engineering & Science, says: "We are delighted that our degree in pharmaceutical sciences has been awarded APS accredited status. This publicly demonstrates the commitment that Greenwich has to its students and the high standards it maintains.

Graduates also go on to take higher research focused degrees in the pharmaceutical sciences.

HRH Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall gave representatives of the University of Greenwich the Queen's Anniversary Prize at Buckingham Palace.

The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) received the Further and Higher Education award for tackling pests which cause plague, famine and disease. The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall met members of the Greenwich party, whose ground-breaking work has found smart solutions for pest control that have an impact on human, animal and plant health, especially in the developing world.

NRI Director, Professor Andrew Westby, said when the awards were announced, "This recognises NRI's world-leading work that balances pest control with protecting our environment. Our combination of academic excellence and practical application supports our postgraduate and undergraduate programmes where our students learn to become future leaders in the field."

NRI's pest management programme looks specifically at four key areas, including blackfly transmitting 'river blindness' rodents spreading disease and destroying crops and infrastructure mosquitoes transmitting dangerous diseases including malaria, dengue and Zika and insect pests threatening the horticulture industry.

The NRI's work on blackfly contributed to the elimination of river blindness in eleven countries in West Africa, preventing 600,000 people from going blind and re-claiming 250,000 square kilometres of abandoned land for cultivation and resettlement.

NRI first worked on managing pests at the beginning of the 20th century, conducting research and implementing a series of major pest management programmes and innovations, including work on locust plagues in Africa.

Over the past 50 years, it has built on this pioneering work, specialising in pest behaviour in order to design specific solutions to control them.
