In the Global Sustainable Development (GSD) Department, you will be supported by a number of staff members at different stages of your study. 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. They are a staff member in the department and you're welcome to discuss any aspect of your university experience with them - either academic or pastoral. Please do make use of such meetings as they'll be useful for both your academic progression and future plans. Existing students can find more information about the Personal tutor role in the Undergraduate Handbook. You may find out who your personal tutor is on your Tabula profile, under 'Personal tutor'. There will be some scheduled meetings with them throughout the year, but if you need to contact them you may find their contact details on their personal page.
