Module Outlines 2024/25
(Module outlines are currently being updated and may be subject to change)
While the modules and module descriptors are set out below as accurately as possible, additions or removals of available modules, and changes of module content, instructors, and assessment procedures are often unavoidable between now and the start of the 2024-25 academic year because of changes in staff availability, resource constraints, and other pressures. Thank you for your understanding.
