EECS Student Handbook 2023/24

All information about the School, especially relevant, degree programmes we offer, upcoming activities, seminars and research news can be found at:- www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk. 

More specific information about your studies can be found on the student intranet at https://intranet.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/ Please visit the intranet frequently.

Other key websites are the QM student portal at www.my.qmul.ac.uk, the QM Student Information System (MySIS) at https://mysis.qmul.ac.uk  and QMPlus https://qmplus.qmul.ac.uk/. You will need to log into MySIS and QMPlus using your QM username and password.  We use QMPlus to support all of our modules.  Logging into QMPlus also gives you access to additional online library facilities.

All information relating to modules, reading lists, timetables, etc, can be found on the School Intranet as well as QMplus. 

Your EECS intranet landing page includes key information.  A list of the modules you will take this year, useful quick links, etc, will be available on your landing page as well as programme descriptors include recommended books and learning outcomes: https://intranet.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/courses/descriptor.

The teaching timetable will provide information about the time, day and location of your lectures and lab sessions.  We try to organise the timetable so that students can have optimum choice. However, there may be times when some elective modules will clash.  In such circumstances, you may need to review your module choice.

Timetables are available on the intranet at: https://timetables.qmul.ac.uk/default.aspx

You can also access them from your EECS Landing page under quick links. 

Please note the timetable may be subject to change and we strongly recommend that you regularly check your timetable for the first 3 weeks each semester to ensure you have the most up to date information.

Under current circumstance, for all teaching activities for each module please check the relevant QMPlus Module page for the definitive teaching activities.

QMUL will communicate with you in a variety of ways. Formal correspondence will be sent to you by electronic letter, and it is important that you keep Queen Mary up to date with your personal details and address. You can do this online via the MySIS record system: http://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/mysis-record/index.html. A name change however must be done in person at the Student Enquiry Centre with accompanying identification. 

It is most common for EECS, Queen Mary and the Students’ Union to contact you by your @QMUL email. You are assigned a university email address when you enrol, and you are responsible for checking this account on a daily basis. All major notifications and updates will be sent to you by email first. 

You can access your email account by logging on to a QMUL computer, or, if you are not on campus, at: http://mail.qmul.ac.uk.
