About Us

The University of Manchester makes all reasonable efforts to deliver the programmes of study and research opportunities and other services and facilities in the way described on this website.

It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities it describes with reasonable care and skill.

However, the University shall be entitled if it reasonably considers it to be necessary (including in order to manage its resources and pursue its policy of continuous improvement appropriately):

• To alter the timetable, location, number of classes and method of delivery of programmes of study, provided such alterations are reasonable.

• To make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements).

• To suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University).

• To make changes to its statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies and procedures which the University reasonably considers necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University's regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year, and if fundamental to the programme will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students.

• Not to provide programmes of study or to combine them with others if the University reasonably considers this to be necessary (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).
