The Head of Department is Prof. Andrew Beresford. He is the final authority for most internal matters. However, he delegates almost all responsibilities to people in other positions, and you should contact the appropriate person in the first instance.
Your Supervisor is the key person for advising you about your research, and is the person to whom you should go first. Your Second Advisor is also available to discuss your research withyou. Your College Graduate Tutor can often help with matters of a personal or financial nature.
In addition to these, the following people are here to help in the Department of Computer Science and Technology 2026-27. Add "@cst.cam.ac.uk" after the role addresses and "@cam.ac.uk" after the CRSIDs .
