actively engage with other students, academic staff, and the wider

university community.

You can expect a mix of

discussion forums.

while benefiting from the structure and support of in-person teaching.

bilingually for students who consider themselves to be fluent Welsh

speakers. For more details on the provision available see the Welsh

Programme Disclaimer

The University will seek to deliver each course in accordance with the

descriptions set out in the relevant course web pages at the time of

application. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable

or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision,

either before or after enrolment.

The University will not normally make very substantial changes to courses

(for example, a change to the course title, significant restructuring,

substantial change in course content, or the introduction of a progression

hurdle) which would impact on students who have already begun their course.

In exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary for the University to make

such a change after acceptance of a place by an offer-holder. This will not

happen less than 5 months before enrolment. The offer-holder will be

notified of the change and will have the opportunity to withdraw their

application and apply elsewhere.

Other changes could be made to course content, study location, delivery and

teaching provision because of developments in the relevant subject,

enhancements in teaching or assessment practice, requirements of external

accreditation processes, changes in staffing, resource constraints or

changes in the availability of facilities. Such changes will take account of

the reasonable expectations of prospective and current students.
