On this page, you will find a list of some key contacts in the department related to undergraduate studies. Please find below information about their roles, their email addresses, and links to their profile pages. If you are unsure who to contact, you may want to email Dr Gioia Panzarella (our Director of Student Experience for undergraduate students).

Please be reminded that each GSD student is allocated a personal tutor.
