Welcome from the Faculty Dean
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 all our programmes in Computing and Mathematical Sciences are based at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Do make sure you check this list carefully to see on which campus your programme is based.
Your first week, starting Monday 12th January, will be a mix of academic lectures and introductory welcome sessions. Do make sure you attend ALL the sessions on your timetable linked above.
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 course you are taking with us.
All the best for your studies,
Professor Peter Griffiths
Pro Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean
Faculty of Engineering and Science
