Dear Student,

Welcome to (Welcome back) Queen Mary and the School of Mathematical Sciences. It's an exciting time to be here: we have a packed programme of extra-curricular events lined up for you this year helping you to develop professional skills and meet students and staff from across the School.

What is this handbook for?

We have written this handbook to provide you with the practical information you need to organise your studies effectively during the coming academic year.

Please read the following pages carefully, even if you’re a returning student – we update this handbook each year to  make sure you have the latest information.

Where can I find more information?

In addition to this handbook, there are lots of other places where you can find helpful information for the year ahead:

-       On our QMplus landing page, which includes details of your programme of study and the individual modules we offer

-       On notice boards around the School

-       On our display screens, located throughout the Mathematical Sciences Building

-       On our School website: www.qmul.ac.uk/maths

If you can’t find the information you need in this handbook or elsewhere, you can speak to your advisor or another member of staff in the School. We also have an Education Services Team ready to help you – you’ll find them in the Maths School Office, MB102, on the first floor of the Mathematical Sciences Building.

With best wishes for the academic year 2024/25,

Professor Boris Khoruzhenko
Head of School, September 2024
