Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.

Every effort has been made to provide information that is current and accurate.  Nevertheless, inadvertent errors in information may occur.  The information contained in this webpage has been supplied from a variety of sources, and is subject to change.  Please ensure you check all module information and timetable provided through the official student information systems.
