Timetables will be available two weeks prior to the start of Semester and you are advised to check your timetable at this time. In the unlikely event that you have selected courses which result in a timetable clash, you should seek advice from your Academic School as to the availability of alternative courses.

Please be aware that your optional/elective courses may be subject to change before the start of Semester. Maximum Limit Exceeded for a Course: We try to offer everyone the possibility to study the optional/elective course they request. However, in certain courses, we are required to limit the numbers participating. In the event that you have selected a course which is over-subscribed, you will be contacted by your Academic School and advised accordingly.
