When should I buy textbooks and books from my module reading lists?

It is recommended that you wait until the first lecture for each new module before purchasing any books, as your module leader will outline the required core reading materials during that session.

However, please remember that the Library should be able to provide access to most of the key readings for your module via the Online Reading List. Please be aware that these lists may change any time before teaching begins, whilst module leaders finalise their course content.

Many programmes also provide examples of pre-reading on their welcome pages.
