UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016
Small print
Important information
This prospectus is correct as at 9th June 2015. Given
the passage of time, however, between publication
and the academic year to which it relates, some of
the information may change. It is very important
therefore that you check the university’s website
www.keele.ac.uk before making an application to
the university, as some details relating to the course
and the status of any validation process, the fees
and other costs, as well as related services, may
have been updated.
The university will do all that it reasonably can to
provide educational services as described in the
prospectus, on the website, or in other documents
issued by it, to appropriately enrolled students.
Sometimes circumstances beyond the control of
the university mean that it cannot provide the
educational services described. Examples of such
circumstances include:
(a) industrial action by university staff or
third parties;
(b) the unanticipated departure of key members
of university staff;
(c) power failure;
(d) acts of terrorism;
(e) damage to buildings or equipment;
(f) the acts of any governmental or local
authority;
(g) the demands of the timetable and the
availability of academic staff in respect of
possible optional subjects;
(h) where the numbers recruited to a course are
so low that it is not possible to deliver an
appropriate quality of education for students
enrolled on it.
In these circumstances, the university will take all
reasonable steps to minimise the resultant disruption
to those services and to those students who are
affected by, for example, offering those students the
opportunity where reasonably possible to move to
another course, another institution or by delivering
a modified version of the same course, but to the
full extent that is possible under the general law
the university excludes liability for any loss and/or
damage suffered by any applicant or student as a
result of those circumstances.
The university will use all reasonable endeavours
to deliver the course in accordance with the
description applied to it in the university’s prospectus
(as updated from time to time on the website or
elsewhere) for the academic year in which you begin
the course. However, the university will be entitled
246
to make reasonable changes to the course (including
to the content and syllabus of the course where
developments in the subject area and/or accrediting
bodies make that necessary, or to the location of the
course or the method of delivery or assessment of
the course) where that will enable the university to
deliver a better quality of educational experience to
students enrolled on the course. In making any such
changes, the university will aim to keep the changes
to the minimum necessary to achieve the required
quality of experience and will notify and consult with
affected students in advance about any changes that
are required. If the university changes your course
and you are not satisfied with the changes, you will
be offered the opportunity to withdraw from the
programme and, if required, reasonable support to
transfer to another provider.
Some of the courses included in this prospectus are
new for 2016 and are subject to validation. If you wish
to apply please visit www.keele.ac.uk/ugcourses for
UCAS code and course details.
The University is committed to, and actively
promotes, equal opportunities in all respects.
