*Undergraduate elective courses list condition
The optional and elective courses that run in each academic year are subject to change in line with faculty availability and student demand, and are limited by such factors as room capacity and the production of a functional timetable. There is therefore no guarantee a given option or elective course will be available. Classes are generally distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, but we reserve the right to distribute classes to specific student groups where we believe there are strong academic reasons for doing so.
