Handbook of Student Regulations

The Handbook details the rights and obligations of every student as a member of the University community and explains the rules of conduct to be observed by students. It is therefore important that you familiarise yourself with these regulations along with other official University documents (e.g. other Student Terms and Conduct and Wellbeing ExpectationsAssessment Regulations and Guidance, and Programme Handbooks) to ensure you understand what is expected of you and what you can expect from the University.  

You will be notified about any changes to the Handbook, and all changes will be displayed on this webpage.

Please ensure you select the correct version of the Handbook. Your student handbook is the version in place on the first academic year of your programme and select the correct version for taught or research programmes.
