Two weeks (only) to change modules

Year-two and three students, remember that you only have two weeks to submit a module change request form if you want to change modules. This requires signatures from both module leaders involved. No module changes will be allowed after two weeks.

Correction! First year timetable information

Correction!

All new first year students please note that your MUST1001 Foundations of Music class is in fact going to run at 9.00am on Thursdays, not on Mondays as announced during this week. Apologies for any confusion. Your personal timetables should state Thursday, and this is correct.
