Welcome Week Timetables

On-campus sessions take place from the week commencing Monday 6 January 2025 – please see details of your first meeting date below:

When you have completed Online Registration, please go to our Moodle course for new students which has full details of our Welcome activities and other useful information.

On behalf of all the staff in the Faculty of Engineering and Science, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the university and the next chapter in your life. We look forward to meeting you and enabling you to succeed in your studies with us.

The Faculty is split over two of the University’s campuses, Medway and Greenwich. Our programmes in Science, Engineering, Pharmacy and the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) are mainly based at the Medway campus. Our programmes in the Built Environment (Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Real Estate and Building Design) and most of our programmes in Computing and Mathematical Sciences are based at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Do make sure you carefully check this list to know which campus your programme is based.

Our staff have created a variety of essential, useful and informative on-campus sessions during Welcome Week (week commencing 6 January 2025) so your programme leader can meet you and provide you with the essential information you need to ensure that you have a successful time with us. Do make sure that you attend all the Welcome Week sessions timetabled for your programme. You can find Welcome Week Schedules for your school here. Each school is on a separate tab, so be sure to select the correct tab.

Also during that week, the university and SU are running some very helpful sessions as part of GREFest. GREFest is our festival of learning, packed full of wellbeing, study skills and support advice, and a great way to make new friends. All these sessions are online so anyone can join in, do check the timetable and attend what you can.

Your time with us is not just about your academic studies, it is also a chance to make new friends, gain new experiences and to have fun. We strongly encourage you to engage with Greenwich Students’ Union either at Medway (based at The Hub) or Greenwich (based in Dreadnought) where you can sign up for anything from Football to Volleyball, Gaming to Photography, find out about the chances to ‘Give It A Go’ and ‘What’s On’ during your first term. If you have any questions, concerns or worries, do email us at fes-courseinfo@gre.ac.uk providing your full name, student number (beginning with 00) and the programme you are taking with us.

All the best for your studies,

Professor Peter Griffiths

Key People

There are staff to support you every step of the way.

• Academic tutors: your primary contact when you have academic questions or need advice. Usually you'll be told who this is at the start of induction. They can direct you towards student services, help you improve your academic performance, and support you on the path to your first graduate job.
• Faculty student advisors: your first point of contact for any non-academic queries. If you are facing challenges, struggling with pastoral issues, have an informal complaint or just need someone to talk to, please contact your FES Student Advice team.
• Programme administrators are a valuable source of advice as they know your courses and course teams very well. They can also offer advice on accessing a range of support services.
• Module leader: your course modules will be taught by one or several tutors, but this person leads in planning the module, teaching, supporting and assessing it and ensuring quality. They will be able to answer your questions about a specific module.
• Programme leaders manage your programme. They co-ordinate the tutors across your modules and are responsible for your academic experience. This person will be named on the webpage for your course.
