Background information

The College will assign students email addresses when they first enrol and students are expected to check their emails regularly.

The MSc Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) acts as the main forum for discussion between staff and students on Level 7 taught modules, and includes representatives of MSc students and staff involved in the programme delivery. The Committee meets twice in an academic year.

If you have a problem, the most important thing to do is to talk to someone about it. This someone could be your advisor, the Director of the Postgraduate Studies, the Student Support Officer, any other member of staff, your student representative or another MSc student. If you prefer not to discuss your problem with a member of the School, you can obtain help and advice directly from the College’s Advice and Counselling Service.

Students may wish to consider associate membership of a professional body. Details for how to go about registering for membership at reduced prices may be found on the postgraduate web pages.

There are notices prominently displayed in the Mathematics Building detailing procedures to be followed in the case of fire or other emergency. All students should familiarise themselves with these instructions. They are reminded of the importance of evacuating the building quickly should the alarm sound; the lift must not be used in such a situation. A description of the QMUL Health and Safety Guidelines can be obtained from the School office. The extension number for Security is 5000; for emergencies ring 3333.
