Part II Zoology
Contacts and Facilities
Part II students are treated as full members of the Department, which is unusually large and diverse. There is a tradition of easy and informal access to members of the teaching staff and others, with whom students share the Tea room and other facilities and activities. The friendliness of the Department is often one of the first things a student will mention about the course.
Part II students have full use of the excellent and comprehensive facilities provided by the Balfour Library, including workstations. There is also a dedicated Part II computer room with full facilities.
Professor Andrew Balmford is the current Part II course organizer and is available to give you advice and information on any aspect of the course, and to deal with any day-to-day problems that may arise during the year. He can be contacted by email (apb12@cam.ac.uk), telephone (3)31770, or in person (room T17 on the third floor). You should feel free to contact him as your first port of call when you have any questions or difficulties connected with the Zoology course.
Clair Castle is the senior librarian and can help with any matters related to the library or online access to journals/books. Susan Rolfe organizes many practical aspects of the course, and is always willing to discuss issues with Part II students.
Students are welcome to attend Happy Hour in the Tea room on Friday afternoons. Parties for Part II students are held at the start of Michaelmas Term and after the exams.
