You can find information about:

• individual courses in the Catalogue of Courses and
• your degree programme in the University Calendar

If your query relates to the content of a course, please contact the School Office by clicking on the "No, I need more help" button at the bottom of this page. In answer to the question "What do you need help with?" choose "Course Information" from the drop down list.

This may be because:

• you do not hold the pre-requisites for the course. Use the Catalogue of Courses to find out what the pre-requisites for the course are.
• the course does not timetable with earlier course selections you have made. You can use our Clash Checker to see if there are lecture clashes but remember MyCurriculum performs a more thorough check, including available tutorial slots, so it may not be possible for you to take the course.

What should I do?

Either:

• choose a different course in place of the option you are looking for, or
• change your optional course selections – by removing a course at a time, and checking to see if the option you wish to take now appears in the drop-down lists. This will allow you to see which courses are clashing and help you decide which mix of optional courses to select.

… but there really is no other optional course I would like to take, what should I do?

The University, for academic reasons, does not recommend that students take clashing courses. If you believe you have an exceptional circumstance and wish to apply to take a clashing course, please click on the "No, I need more help" button at the bottom of this page. In answer, to the question "What do you need help with" choose "Take a Clashing Course" from the drop down list.

Please note: there is no guarantee that you will be given permission and you should look for alternative courses to study should your request be refused.

This may be because:

• you do not hold the pre-requisites for the course. Use the Catalogue of Courses  to find out what the pre-requisites for the course are.
• you are not studying at the correct level to take the course. For example: you are a level 1 student and the course is open only to students in level 2, OR you are a level 3 student and the course is open only to students in levels 1 or 2, OR you are a Postgraduate student and the course is only open to undergraduate students;
• the course does not timetable with earlier course selections you have made. You can use our Clash Checker to see if there are lecture clashes but remember, MyCurriculum performs a more thorough check, including available tutorial slots, so it may not be possible for you to take the course.
