Contacting Staff

It is usually best to contact academic staff by email. You may also visit academic staff in their offices during their surgery hours. There will be a notice on the academics office door stating their surgery hours. This information will also be available on their landing pages on the EECS intranet. It is advisable to email staff and make an appointment to see them before embarking on a long journey to Queen Mary. Staff contact details are available on the School Intranet.
