The University and You

The relationship between the University and our students is a contractual one and this prospectus contains information, which would be considered as part of our contract with you. The terms of this contract include the following and your acceptance of a place is expressly subject to them.

1. You will be required as a condition of enrolment to submit to, and abide by, the University’s procedures, as amended from time to time by the Board of Governors and the Academic Board. These procedures include Academic Regulations, Tuition Fee Regulations and the Student Charter; you may view all of them, either in electronic format on the Forms and Publications page of the Student Gateway, or in paper format in the University library, and you are encouraged to make yourself familiar with them.

2. The University will use reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and programmes of study in accordance with the descriptions set out in this prospectus. However, this document is produced at the earliest possible date to provide maximum assistance to intending applicants. It is inevitable that changes will occur between the date of printing and the start of the academic year to which it relates. Some changes may be due to resource constraints, others to staff changes or to developments in the relevant subject. In particular, as the University does not provide education to Home and other EU students on a commercial basis, but is largely dependent on charitable and public funds, it must manage its resources in a way which is efficient and cost effective. In the context of the provision of a diverse range of courses to a large number of students, the University therefore reserves the right to vary the contents and delivery of courses, to discontinue, merge or combine courses and to introduce new courses if such action is reasonably considered to be necessary by the University. In such cases the University will use reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative ourse. Such changes may occur either before or after admission.
