Please arrange to arrive in the UK by Friday 1 October 2010, to attend the Orientation Programme for New Students. The Academic Session begins on Monday 4 October 2010. If you think that for some reason you will be unable to meet this start date then please contact the Regional Office to discuss possible deferral to the next available start date. It is important to note that late arrival causes severe difficulties for new students and the University does not permit them to start later than the end of the first teaching week. If you have not arrived and enrolled by 4 October 2010, this Offer will be null and void.
