Although great care has been
taken in compiling
A Guide to
Postgraduate Study
, it is for
the general guidance of prospective
students only. This publication
is intended for those who are
interested in applying for admission
to the University in 2017 and is
intended as advance publicity for
information and guidance purposes
only. Details included are correct
at the time of going to press in
August 2016. The most up-to-date
and detailed source of information
at any time is the postgraduate
website at
www.ncl.ac.uk/ postgraduateThe matters covered by this
publication are naturally subject
to change from time to time, both
before and after a candidate’s
admission. Unavoidable changes
may on occasion have to be made,
affecting the availability of degree
programmes, subjects, modules and
options within degree programmes,
and of additional opportunities
such as placements, field trips and
exchange visits. Reasons for change
could include timetabling issues,
changes in staff, requirements of
programme accrediting bodies, to
reflect academic changes within
subject areas, or due to minimum
student numbers on a course.
