Disclaimer

This prospectus is issued for the general guidance of students considering entry to the Leeds International Study Centre, based at Leeds Beckett University, from September 2019. The information is correct at the time of going to press and the programmes and services described herein are those which Study Group is planning to offer. We make every effort to ensure that the content of our prospectus, website and other materials is accurate. However, on occasion it may be necessary to alter certain aspects of a module or programme, for example if changes are required to meet external requirements; or if programmes are over-subscribed and the quality of teaching would be adversely affected as a result.

In such circumstances we may have to alter the timetable, change the teaching location of the programme or, in extreme cases, cancel or substantially amend the content of the programme. Should any of these changes become necessary, we will give you as much notice as possible before they come into effect and ensure that any disruption to your studies is minimised.

If your programme is cancelled, we will work in consultation with you to offer a suitable alternative, subject to meeting the admission requirements for that programme or the opportunity to obtain a refund of any advance payments you have made for the programme. The alternative programme may not be at the same International Study Centre as the original offer.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information relating to Leeds Beckett University in this prospectus at the time of going to print. The University aims to provide the programmes and facilities as described in this prospectus, but reserves the right to withdraw or to make alterations to courses and facilities if necessary. For the most up-to-date course information, please visit the University’s website at leedsbeckett.ac.uk and use the course search function. Study Group reserves the right, where applicable, to amend the regulations governing programmes at the Leeds International Study Centre. We therefore strongly recommend that immediately prior to making any application to - or accepting any offer from - us, you refer to the most up-to-date version of the programme descriptions and specifications and the regulations on the Leeds International Study Centre website at isc.leedsbeckett.ac.uk
