Material in this handbook does not replace the University’s regulations. In any case of conflict, the regulations take priority. The information contained here is as accurate and up-to-date as we can make it, but it may sometimes be necessary to make changes to the teaching programme, related procedures or other arrangements.  The current online version of the course handbook should be considered the definitive version, and takes priority over any older versions.
