Important notes

This School course brochure is correct at the time of going to print. However, given the passage of time between its publication and the academic year to which it relates, some of the information may change. It is very important therefore that you check the University’s website www.ntu.ac.uk before making an application to the University, as some details relating to the course and the status of any validation process, the fees and other costs, as well as related services, may have been updated. The University will do all that it reasonably can to provide educational services as described in the School course brochure, on the website, or in other documents issued by it, to appropriately enrolled students. Sometimes circumstances beyond the control of the University mean that it cannot provide the educational services described. Examples of such circumstances include: (a) industrial action by University staff or third parties (b) the unanticipated departure of key members of University staff (c) power failure (d) acts of terrorism (e) damage to buildings or equipment (f) the acts of any governmental or local authority (g) the demands of the timetable and the availability of academic staff in respect of possible optional subjects (h) where the numbers recruited to a course or

In such circumstances, the University will take all reasonable steps to minimise the resultant disruption to those services and to those students who are affected by, for example, offering those students the opportunity where reasonably possible to move to another course, another institution or by delivering a modified version of the same course, but the University excludes liability, to the full extent that is possible under the general law, for any loss and/or damage suffered by any applicant or student as a result of such circumstances. The University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the course in accordance with the description applied to it in the University’s School course brochure (as updated from time to time on the website or elsewhere) for the academic year in which you begin the course. However, the University will be entitled to make reasonable changes to the course (including to the content and syllabus of the course where developments in the subject area and/or accrediting bodies make that necessary, or to the location of the course or the method of delivery or assessment of the course) where that will enable the University to deliver a better quality of educational experience to students enrolled on the course. In making any such changes, the University will aim to keep them to the minimum necessary to achieve the required quality of experience and will notify and consult with affected students in advance about any changes that are required. Any changes to its courses are considered through the University’s quality assurance process; this process engages students through appropriate University committees. If the University changes your course and you are not satisfied with the changes, you will be offered the opportunity to withdraw from the course and, if required, reasonable support to transfer to another provider. Any offer of a place at the University shall be subject to the University’s Terms and Conditions and the University’s rules and regulations (as amended from time to time).
