We’re really looking forward to seeing you on campus in September.
We’re thrilled to welcome you to Greenwich Business School this January.
Starting this exciting new chapter can feel like a lot to take in, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. This page pulls together the key information you’ll need to get started. Below, you’ll find details about what to do now, what to expect during your first weeks, and how to get support when you need it.
Welcome Week Timetables
Ahead of Welcome Week, please start and - ideally - complete registration as soon as possible. Not being fully registered won’t stop you attending Welcome Week (and you must attend, even if you haven’t completed registration) but you can’t get access to your course materials until fully registered.
You can find all you need to know about registration here.
Welcome Week: Monday, 6 January 2025
Welcome Week at Greenwich Business School is packed with sessions designed to help you feel at home and prepare for success. Throughout the week, you’ll meet academic staff, classmates, and other key staff for your course. You will learn about all the things you need to get started as a student. These mandatory sessions are essential to help you get to know your course and make the most of your studies.
Your programme-specific Welcome Week timetable will be sent directly to you as a separate email once you’ve completed registration, so keep an eye on your inbox.
GreFest Winter: 6–10 January
Before classes begin, join us for GreFest Winter, our hybrid festival of skills and support. Participate online or in person in sessions designed to help you thrive, including workshops on student wellbeing, study skills, and settling into the university. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow students, tutors, and our support teams, as well as make new friends.
Whether you’re attending in person or online, GreFest Winter is here to help you transition into university life with confidence. Check the GreFest schedule for more details and sign up for workshops that suit your needs.
Your First Week of Classes: From Monday 13 January
Teaching begins the week after Welcome Week. All classes for your programme will be held on-campus at the University of Greenwich, Maritime Campus, Old Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS.
Your personal timetable is being finalised, if you are unable to see your personal timetable yet, please keep checking back on the 'My Timetable' tab as they will be released shortly.
Uni Life: More Than Just Study
At Greenwich, there’s so much more to experience beyond the classroom. Whether you’re into sports, culture, or something totally unique, the Greenwich Students’ Union (SU) has a club or society for you. The Lower Deck in the Dreadnought Building is your go-to spot for food, drinks, and entertainment, with events happening throughout the year. Dive in, make new friends, and let your main character energy shine!
