Notes: - Programmes and
units may be changed in accordance with normal University procedures.
- This programme catalogue is applicable for all years of study for the
2016/17 academic year only. Students continuing their studies into 2017/18 and beyond should not assume that this programme, or its component units,
will be delivered in future years in the format displayed here.
- NFAAR assessment regulations are subject to review and update. Links given
here will provide access to the latest versions of NFAAR documentation. The regulations described in this documentation may not necessarily be those
which applied in previous academic years. For detailed information on how the NFAAR was applied to this programme in previous academic years, please
contact the relevant Director of Studies.
- Availability of units is subject to constraints such as staff availability, minimum and maximum
group sizes, and timetabling factors as well as a student's ability to meet any pre-requisite rules.
