Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

TERMS amp CONDITIONSThe Universityrsquos Charter Statutes Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at wwwcalendarsotonacuk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication It is provided for information purposes only Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure
The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

TERMS amp CONDITIONSThe Universityrsquos Charter Statutes Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at wwwcalendarsotonacuk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication It is provided for information purposes only Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure
The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

Optimising spacecraft design Our research is enabling the European Space Agency (ESA) to design more efficient spacecraft
Todayrsquos spacecraft play a vital role in scientific research communications meteorology navigation and security Putting new craft into orbit involves huge expense so the design of efficient but lightweight system components is a crucial aspect of spacecraft development
Mathematics researchers led by Professor Joerg Fliege created an innovative software toolbox that enables ESA designers and engineers to find the best trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness optimising the design of a variety of spacecraft parts including heat pipes turbo pumps and injection chambers The software can also be used to help plot the course of space missions to minimise fuel costs

TERMS amp CONDITIONSThe Universityrsquos Charter Statutes Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at wwwcalendarsotonacuk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication It is provided for information purposes only Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure
The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified

TERMS amp CONDITIONSThe Universityrsquos Charter Statutes Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at wwwcalendarsotonacuk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication It is provided for information purposes only Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure
The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

We offer a range of degrees including three-year single and combined honours courses and our prestigious four-year integrated masters degrees They share a set of required modules in year one with increasing module choice in subsequent years enabling you to tailor your programme of study to suit your interests For example you might prefer to specialise in one area such as applied mathematics or select a wider variety of modules Either way yoursquoll be able to choose from an extensive list of options
Each module is designed to enhance your transferable skills as well as your subject knowledge Yoursquoll develop your IT group work analytical and presentation skills ndash all essential for future employment or study You could also choose to spend a semester studying abroad to further broaden your experience
Teaching and learning
Problem solving is at the heart of all mathematical thinking and this will be an integral part of your learning experience Most modules comprise three lectures and one supervised workshops or problem class per week In most cases your lecturer will give you a weekly set of problems to tackle during the workshop and in your spare time As well as counting towards your final assessments these problem sheets will provide essential practice and enhance your understanding of the subject In some cases coursework is also used as part of the final module assessment
During your first year your work will be assessed weekly and you will
receive feedback at workshops In the second and third years learning support normally takes place in lecture classes and timetabled tutorials You will also have regular access to individual advice
Student support
Our degrees are intellectually challenging but we offer plenty of support to help you succeed Regular meetings with your personal tutor give you the opportunity to discuss your progress and any issues or concerns You will also have access to advice and support from a senior tutor a programme coordinator and numerous support staff
We hold workshops twice a week to provide support for your weekly assignments and extra support in the run-up to exams These are drop-in support sessions where lecturers are on hand to provide extra help and advice
At the start of your first year you can opt into a student-led buddy scheme where a second or third-year maths student can advise you on how to get your studies and student life off to a good start
Our new Mathematical Sciences Student Centre provides a focus for our teaching and learning and a new communal space for mathematics students
For more general support our network of student resources provides access to support and information in person online and out-of-hours Students can also use the Universityrsquos counselling service and confidential support and advice services run by the studentsrsquo union There are two health practices on campus

If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

TERMS amp CONDITIONSThe Universityrsquos Charter Statutes Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at wwwcalendarsotonacuk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication It is provided for information purposes only Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure
The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy The Admissions Policy current at the time of publication is published online and is available at wwwsouthamptonacuk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)
3 Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures discontinuations changes to or mergers of any programme of study service or facility
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

The information contained in the brochure welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff membersrsquo interests and expertise Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University external agencies or regulators
1 Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure student handbooks welcome guides and website It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary
ndash to alter the timetable location number of classes content or method of delivery of programmes of study andor examination processes provided such alterations are reasonable
ndash to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements)
ndash to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University)
ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university

Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss damage or expense resulting from any delay variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the Universityrsquos reasonable control including (but not limited to) war or threat of war riot civil strife terrorist activity industrial dispute natural or nuclear disaster adverse weather conditions interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason fire boycott and telecommunications failure
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance requirements

We undertake a continuous review of our programmes services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community We therefore reserve the right where necessary

ndash to make changes to our Statutes Ordinances Regulations policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the Universityrsquos regulators) Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
ndash to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
If the University closes discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ldquoChangerdquo) the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application without any liability to the University by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change
b If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling the student may either
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student
c If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so If the University cannot teach out a programme of study it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university
2 Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support)

Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated Please note the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 In entering into that contract the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
