Module Outlines 2023/24
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 2023-24 academic year because of changes in staff availability, resource constraints, and other pressures. Thank you for your understanding.
