Contacting specific staff

The following links give contact details for academic staff and Professional Services staff. It is usually best to contact academic staff (at least initially) by email. You may also visit academic staff in pre-arranged meetings or telephone them. Staff may arrange regular "office hours" during which students can drop in.

Each of the four MSc programmes has a Programme Director. If your query is administrative, please contact the Maths School Office or If your query is academic, please contact your programme director.

Director of Postgraduate Taught Studies

Dr Michael Phillips (michael.phillips@qmul.ac.uk )

MSc Data Analytics

Dr Primoz Skraba (p.skraba@qmul.ac.uk)


Each module has a module leader or convenor, and each module generally has at least one office hour per week allocated during the teaching semester, during which students can meet with the module leader. Before travelling any distance, you should always arrange an appointment with the particular academic staff member by email or phone. Information about academic staff office hours will be available once term starts.

Summer vacation support

During the summer vacation, many academic staff will be away; you may still be able to contact them by email but not otherwise. You should contact the Maths Office or the Student Support Officer (hereafter referred to as "SSO"), if you need academic advice or assistance and cannot contact the appropriate member of academic staff.  The SSO is Mr William Ng: william.ng@qmul.ac.uk.
