Recorded history

Recorded as taught in semester 1 of 2026/27

This is history, not a promise. It is worked out from the terms recorded on student reviews and in the assessment facts BIRSA holds, so a term missing here may simply not have been recorded. BIRSA does not hold timetable data and cannot say whether a course will run in a given term. Check the faculty timetable before you register.
