About the University Handbooks

In particular the University reserves the right to change the content and/or the method of presentation and/or the method of assessment of any unit of study, to withdraw any unit of study or programme which it offers, to impose limitations on enrolment in any unit or programme, and/or to vary arrangements for any programme.
