The University reserves the right to amend or withdraw without notice and at its entire discretion any of the courses, facilities or other matters contained or referred to in this guide. The University does not provide education to UK postgraduates on a commercial basis and receives public funds for which it is accountable and which it must use in an efficient and cost-effective manner. If a course is discontinued, the University will make all reasonable efforts to find students a place on a suitable alternative course.
