Contacting us during COVID-19
We're currently working remotely as a response to COVID-19, but we're still here to help.
We are working Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. We can’t answer any calls at this time, but you can email us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
The University will be open and ready to teach at the start of the new academic year in mid September 2020.
Thank you for your understanding.
