Email is the primary channel of communication within the School. Your Programme Support staff and members of Faculty will send important information via email throughout the year, for example: instructions for assessments and exams.

Make sure you check your ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ email account regularly so you don’t miss any important emails!

Each week during term time, the Department sends a weekly newsletter to all students (through our email marketing platform Mailchimp). The newsletter will keep you informed of Department news and events, information relevant to your education, sources of support and opportunities available to you.

Tip: Make sure you check your spam folder and adjust your settings so you don’t miss out any of our newsletters! If you need help doing this, you can visit the IT Service Desk (). This is especially important at the start of the year for the weekly newsletters.
