Welcome from the Faculty Dean
On behalf of all staff from across the Faculty of Education, Health and Human Sciences, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the University of Greenwich and to the next stage of your education. We are delighted that you have chosen to study with us and look forward to supporting you as you begin your time at the University.
Our Faculty's programmes are delivered across the University's Avery Hill, Greenwich and Medway campuses. The location of teaching varies by programme and, in some cases, by module, so please check your programme information carefully for details of where your studies will be based.
Your Welcome Programme is your opportunity to get off to the best possible start at the University of Greenwich. Designed to help you settle in, make connections and prepare for your studies, it will introduce you to the people, services and opportunities that will support you throughout your university journey.
Details of your Welcome Programme activities will be posted here soon.
During the Welcome Programme, you will meet your Programme Leader, academic staff and the wider team who will be supporting you during your time with us. You will receive essential information about your programme, discover the range of support available to help you succeed, and have the chance to get to know other students who are beginning their studies alongside you.
These activities are an important part of your transition to university life and have been carefully designed to help you feel informed, confident and connected from day one; so please ensure you attend all the timetabled sessions.
Your time at the University of Greenwich is not just about academic studies, it is also a time to build friendships, develop new interests and make the most of the opportunities available to you. I would encourage you to get involved with Greenwich Students’ Union, whether at Avery Hill (The Dome), Greenwich (Dreadnought) or Medway (The Hub). You can check via the GSU What's On page. From sports clubs and societies to volunteering and events, there are many ways to connect with others and become part of our university community.
If you have any questions, concerns or need support at any point, please contact us through the Digital Student Centre. If you contact the University through another route, please make sure you include your full name, student number (beginning with 00) and the programme you are studying.
I wish you every success for the year ahead and look forward to welcoming you to the Faculty.
Best wishes,
Professor Stephen Corbett
Pro Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean
Faculty of Education, Health and Human Sciences
