TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We (the University of Portsmouth) have checked the
information in this prospectus and believe that it is
accurate at the time of going to press (September
2019). However, it is possible that some course details
may change over time, either where the changes are
unavoidable through, for example, staff changes, or
where it is believed that the changes would be beneficial
to the course, such as updating the course content to
reflect changes in the discipline or the industry. The
University will take all reasonable steps to minimise
the impact of any changes on students. Applicants
for such courses will be informed of any significant
changes, such as course content changes, with as much
notice as possible, so the effects of any changes can
be considered by you. You are advised to check the
University website for the most up-to-date information
at all times, and/or to contact the University for further
details if you are at any time uncertain of information.
When you accept an offer to study at the University of
Portsmouth, you also agree to our terms and conditions
as well as the University’s policies, rules and regulations.
It is best to be aware of these documents and to read
them before you accept your offer of a place. This is so
you understand the commitment you are making and
what you can expect from the University.
Note that our policies, rules and regulations may change
at the start of any academic year. The most up-to-date
versions can be found at port.ac.uk/policies-and-
procedures. If you would like more information on
how we process your application, there’s more on our
undergraduate applications, postgraduate applications
or international applications pages.
It is important that you read and make sure you
understand this disclaimer which forms part of the
terms and conditions of your studies should you choose
to study at Portsmouth.
The information on our website for each course includes
tuition fee terms and conditions. This sets out in detail
how tuition fees are calculated, increased and charged.
Please note, all fees are subject to an annual increase.

It may be necessary, on some courses, to pay extra costs
in relation to field trips/study visits etc. If this is the case,
this information will be available on the Postgraduate
fees and Student Finance page of the University website.
As above, you are advised, at all times, to check the
University website for the most up-to-date information
on tuition, and other, fees.
Courses advertised as ‘subject to approval’ have
successfully completed the first stage of the course
approval process. However, the full academic detail is
subject to consideration and approval by the University
in the second and final stage of the approval process,
which happens after this publication is printed.
Applicants for such courses will be informed of any
significant changes to the advertised course as soon as
possible during the application process so that you may
make an informed choice about the course.
Where a change to the course content and/or fees has
a material adverse impact on you, you will be entitled
to terminate your obligations to the University. It is
your responsibility to confirm that the course you wish
to study is suitable for your needs (particularly any
additional learning needs/disabilities you might have),
interests and abilities, and that the service, support and
facilities provided by the University of Portsmouth meet
your requirements. If you accept the offer of a place
on one of our courses but later decide that you wish to
change or withdraw from your course of study, without
there being any changes to the course for which you
applied, the responsibility for doing so and for any costs
that you may incur is yours alone.
The University will provide its services to you with all
due care and skill. We do not accept responsibility if
we are unable to fulfil our teaching commitments at
all through circumstances beyond our control. These
include (by way of example but not limitation) illness,
industrial action, civil emergencies or the actions
of third parties. We will always try, however, where
possible, to make alternative arrangements to fulfil our
commitments to you.
