This brochure has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of
publishing, but changes (for example to program content) are likely to occur given the
interval between publishing and commencement of the program. It is therefore very
important to check the website or contact us for any updates before you apply. Once
you have applied, any change which impacts the terms and conditions of your offer or
a significant part of your program will be communicated to you.
