Staff and contact email addresses

Contact details for staff, plus generic contact email addresses for a range of enquiries.


Relevant staff continue to offer a mix of online and on-campus activities to staff and students. Do check workshop and event information carefully when booking, to be sure of the mode of delivery. Staff generally work in a hybrid manner with most staff working part-time on-campus. For enquiries it is generally best to contact staff by email in the first instance. 

Our address

Our former offices at 1 Morgan Lane and Outreach Centre (9C Holyrood Road) are now closed. Teams have been moved to other areas as noted below - please check those dept websites for relevant addresses and contact information.
