We will help you to prepare for living and studying in the UK. Approximately four weeks before your arrival, we will send you the first of a series of pre-arrival e-mails. These will introduce you further to London and the University of Greenwich and provide you with practical information to help you to settle in and make the most of your time with us.
You will be invited to attend the university's International Students' Orientation Programme, which takes place in the week prior to the commencement of studies. During the programme, you will meet people who will play a key role in your time at Greenwich and become familiar with the university's campuses, student life and academic rules and regulations. You will also finalise your academic timetable.
