Congrats and Welcome to the QMUL School of English and Drama Community
We are so proud to have you in the family.
We can’t wait to see you from 20 September 2021 for welcome week.
Please aim to be present that week, as it’s a really important part of your induction and enrolment process.
If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to contact me via email or phone (+44 (0)20 7882 8910).
I did a super quick IG live today, so you’re welcome to have a watch if you want a ‘woohoo’ from a human!
You should receive lots more emails from QMUL in the next few weeks – around practical stuff like getting your ID card and enrolment – so please keep an eye on your inbox and spam folder.
