Guidance and resources Log into Symplectic Elements

The Profiles Project

The new profiles system was launched in September 2024 and is now fully live. All staff and PGR profiles are now managed in Symplectic Elements.

Your profile will be displayed on a powerful new search tool ‘Discovery’ which visitors to the university website can access. Discovery helps to make your profile more visible and searchable online.

Staff profiles are also displayed on your department web page. Please note that since the launch, links to profiles on department websites have changed. Redirects were added where possible, but you will need to update links in email signatures, personal websites, or project pages. Please note that Google and other search engines may take a few months to recrawl and index the new profile URLs.
