Contact the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences

Whether you're thinking of applying to study with us, or you're a current student, then you can use the following options to contact us.

Online form

Our online enquiry form directs your query to the most appropriate member of staff and you will be able to track your query's progress and response on this system. We will respond within five working days.

Email

If you prefer to email us, or you cannot find the appropriate category from the drop-down menu in the online enquiry form, you can also contact the faculty by email. We will aim to reply to your email within five working days.

Please do not send an online enquiry and an email for the same query as this will slow down our response times.
