Most students arrive in September, when all four faculties run at full strength and the bulk of scholarships are awarded; a smaller January entry and a niche April/May window cover select postgraduate courses for students whose previous results land outside the usual cycle. Undergraduates apply through UCAS or an approved agent, while postgraduates go directly through Greenwich's own portal. Two courses: Social Work and Adult Nursing, must go through UCAS regardless of level.
