Our Programme Specifications are important documents for all undergraduate students. They are updated every year for each new cohort of students. As a rule, students should view the version that matches their year of entry and their degree programme.
The documents will include:
- an overview of the programme
- learning outcomes
- a year-by-year breakdown of each degree’s structure
- teaching and learning methods
- list of available modules, including electives (the modules on offer can occasionally change over time)
- assessment types
- progression and classification rules
- details of accreditation
