Changes to the printed prospectus

Please note that we make changes from time to time to advertised courses or modules (or occasionally discontinue them), for example as a result of the way in which we continually seek to improve our academic provision and take on board feedback from students and other stakeholders, or to take account of changed circumstances.

As a result, the following changes have been made to the University's prospectuses since they were printed. The information in the prospectus was believed accurate and up to date at the time it went to print.
