Communication

Office Hours

The atmosphere in the Department is friendly and informal and it is usually very easy to contact individual members of staff. All academic staff post their ‘office hours’ on their staff webpages, specifying two regular periods per week when they will be available to meet with students. One of these periods will be online and the other face to face. You can also set up appointments at other times by emailing them. You are encouraged to make use of office hours to discuss anything related to your time at university.

Departmental Communications

The Department sends out regular communications to keep you in touch with matters affecting your study, signposting support and highlighting opportunities.

The PG Newsletter is circulated every week during term time with information about upcoming talks, workshops, funding opportunities and external events. If you have anything you would like to share in the newsletter, please email it to PGHistoryOffice@warwick.ac.uk by Thursday 12pm.

Any students who are not based in the History Department, but would like to be included on the PG newsletter should e-mail pghistoryoffice@warwick.ac.uk.
