How to contact us

Teaching staff offices

  • Please book office hours via the Student Hub.
  • Office hours are offered for the duration of the programme only.
  • Many languages offer more than one office hour and some are only for specific courses.
  • Not all teachers have an office hour so you may need to see the Co-ordinator for the course(s) in question.
