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 may 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.
Location
The History Department is located on the Third Floor of the Faculty of Arts Building (FAB). There are three clusters of staff offices:
- Cluster A: FAB3.05 – FAB3.21, including the History Undergraduate Office (FAB3.14)
- Cluster B: FAB3.64 – FAB3.80
- Cluster C: FAB3.38 – FAB3.55
You can find an individual staff member’s room number on their staff page.
Administrative staff are available to help with in-person queries in FAB3.14 between 9am and 3pm Monday-Friday.
Study spaces
Students are encouraged to make use of the departmental Social Learning Spaces (FAB3.60 and FAB3.57) for both quiet study and for group work. The Department also holds a range of student events in these spaces. Other study spaces can be found in the Library and Learning Grids. Students can also study in a range of other rooms and spaces on campus when they are not being used for teaching or other events.
Departmental Communications
The Department sends out regular communications to keep you in touch with matters affecting your study, signposting support and highlighting opportunities.
The Undergraduate Office send out a weekly newsletter to keep you updated about your degree. Each Year Director will also send regular emails offering advice and support. There are dedicated webpages for each year group:
Students should note that the University & department will ONLY contact you via your University e-mail address. Please be sure to check your e-mails on a regular basis so that you do not miss any important communications. To update your address please do so via the student record online page. Sign in to this page as usual and select ‘Student Records’ from the ‘My Data’ link on the left hand menu.
