GUIDELINES FOR DEPARTMENTAL STUDENT HANDBOOKS

Departments are required to produce the following publications annually: 

Handbook for undergraduate students:  

Handbooks for undergraduate students should be published to students electronically, and may optionally also be made available in hard-copy. 

Information for students taking outside options or first year modules in the department:

This may be provided in the form of the department’s handbook for undergraduate students.

Handbook for postgraduate students: 

In the case of postgraduate handbooks, departments and centres are normally expected to publish hard copy as well as a web version, but with the permission of the Dean of the Graduate School, centres and small departments may restrict publication to a web-only version.

The University defines the list of items which should be included in handbooks and leaflets for students in a checklist for departmental student handbooks (word document).  Where central text is provided this must be included in full within the relevant departmental student handbooks.
