However, courses, University services and content of publications remain subject to change. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or to keep courses contemporary through updating practices or areas of study. Circumstances may arise outside the reasonable control of the University leading to required changes. Such circumstances include industrial action, unexpected student numbers, significant staff illness (where a course is reliant upon a person’s expertise), unexpected lack of funding, severe weather, fire, civil disorder, political unrest, government restrictions and serious concern with regard to the transmission of serious illness making a course unsafe to deliver. After a student has taken up a place with the University, the University will look to give early notification of any changes and try to minimise their impact, offering suitable alternative arrangements or forms of compensation where it believes there is a fair case to do so. Offers of a place to study at the University will provide up-to-date information on courses. The latest key information on courses, entry requirements and fees can be found at courses.leeds.ac.uk.

TRACKING THE GIANT ANTARCTIC ICEBERG Antarctica’s largest remaining ice shelf lost nearly 10% of its area when an iceberg four times the size of London broke free in July 2017. Our researchers have been working with the European Space Agency and the British Antarctic Survey to track the drifting Here are some of the ways iceberg – one of the biggest on record – using space satellite technology. Smaller icebergs have since we’re changing the world… formed from the giant iceberg and the remaining ice shelf – the largest is over eight miles long. Following this dramatic natural phenomenon, the research team have been monitoring the activity on the ice shelf. If cracks continue to grow and more events like this happen in the future, the ice shelf could collapse, which would open the floodgates for land-based glaciers to flow more quickly into the sea, resulting in catastrophic rises in sea levels. 12 REDEFINING EXCELLENCE TACKLING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, as the antibiotics used to treat serious infections such as whooping cough and salmonella are becoming less effective. Using powerful electron microscopes, our researchers have uncovered new information about a complex molecular machine called BAM, which helps bacteria to spread infectious diseases. BAM enables bacteria to build and maintain a defensive wall, protecting the bug from being attacked by antibiotics. This new insight will help the development of new drugs to target BAM and stop it from functioning, preventing the spread of disease-causing bacteria. Professor Neil Ranson and Dr Rebecca Thompson pictured with the University of Leeds' new electron microscopes RESTORING VISION Our new five-year partnership with leading global science and technology company Merck, and our other industrial links, will take optical innovations to the next level.
