Welcome from the Faculty PVC and Executive Dean
A very warm welcome from all of us at the Faculty of Law, Arts and Social Sciences. We are delighted that you have chosen to study with us and look forward to supporting you throughout your time at the University.
Your first week will begin with a welcome programme from Monday 14 September, designed to give you the best possible start to university life. It will introduce you to the people, services and opportunities available to support you throughout your university journey.
Your time at the University of Greenwich is about much more than your academic studies. It is an opportunity to develop new interests, build lasting friendships and take advantage of the many opportunities available to you. I would encourage you to make the most of Greenwich Students’ Union. Whether through clubs and societies, volunteering opportunities, campaigns or events, the Student Union is a great way to meet new people, develop new skills and become part of our university community.
I wish you every success for the year ahead and look forward to welcoming you to the Faculty.
