As the worlds first industrialised city, Manchester has its roots firmly in innovation and business.
The unique, cosmopolitan character and varied ethnic mix give the city its unofficial title of the best student city in the UK. The city attracts students from a broad range of backgrounds and countries. A celebrated city of culture, Manchester offers something for every taste. Whether its world-class museums, international cinemas, theatres, opera, ballet, comedy, music, sport or shopping, its all here. Music plays a major role in the city, both historically, and through the international bands that constantly visit the city. It has many music venues from intimate clubs and bars to the 21,000 capacity Manchester Evening News Arena. The shopping is spectacular too, from large malls to independent and boutique shops selling unique clothes and vintage treasures. As you would expect, there are many cafs and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes. Youll find a wide selection of restaurants with menus from around the globe, including the famous China Town in the city centre, and the Curry Mile in Rusholme, which is home to over 150 Asian restaurants and businesses.

Manchester is such a great city; really good shopping, lots of art galleries, great night life, and fantastic libraries and sport facilities. Theres so much going on.

Experience Cheshire

Experience Cheshire
Our Cheshire campus, situated in Crewe, offers a lively, friendly community set in safe and relaxed surroundings. Renowned for the excellence of its educational, dramatic and sporting programmes and facilities, our Cheshire campus is situated just 36 miles (58 km) south of Manchester city centre.
The campus itself is within easy walking distance of the mainline railway station, with direct services to London, Birmingham, Manchester and towns in Cheshire. A 70 million campus development programme has just been completed, with brand new facilities including the Cheshire Contemporary Arts Centre with drama, dance, music and sound recording studios, and a world-class Exercise and Sports Science Centre including state-of-the-art laboratories, sports and fitness facilities and 3G football pitch. Students at MMU Cheshire experience the best of both worlds with nearby National Parks, as well as access to several cosmopolitan cities. Crewe is a thriving town with theatres, cinemas, and lively pubs and bars, with the surrounding areas in Cheshire offering everything from modern shopping, trendy cafs and bars to heritage gardens and houses. While the campus is large enough to provide an impressive range of facilities, it is sufficiently compact enough to ensure a close and friendly community atmosphere. The majority of new students are guaranteed on-campus accommodation in our range of halls of residence. Crewe is one of the cheapest university towns for private accommodation and if you need to find part-time work youll find local jobs advertised through our campus Jobshop.

Kristina Teasdale, HND Business Management

The Crewe campus has been a really good place to come to university. Its quiet enough to study, but the social side is really good because everybody knows each other. There are loads of sports teams to join and the lecturers are all really approachable.

Our halls of residence are large apartment blocks with single-study bedrooms and either private or shared bathroom facilities.

Finance

Finance
When considering the cost of your studies, it is not just tuition fees that you have to take into account. You will also need to cover the cost of accommodation, food and other basic expenses
Cost of living
The cost of living in the Manchester region is considerably lower than London and many other world cities. Also, many shops, restaurants and services offer special discounts for students which can help to keep costs down. In addition to your tuition fees you will also need to budget for the cost of living during your time at university. The North West is one of the cheapest regions in the UK; you will need approximately 7,500 a year to cover food, accommodation, transport and other basic expenses. Please bear in mind that the cost of living in the UK rises by about three per cent each year, and if you bring your family youll need to bring additional funds.

Ive been heavily involved with Formula Student, the University competition where student teams from across the UK and the world design and build a single-seat racing car and race them at Silverstone. Not only has this given me extra practical engineering experience, but Ive been able to develop my project management, team-working and leadership skills on a real, live project which is excellent preparation for entering the job market.
Ashley Sinclair BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Teaching combines a mixture of lectures, tutorials and private study

David Owen, ICT teacher INTO Manchester

"INTO Manchester provides an opportunity for international students to really experience student life in a smaller, more caring environment before they become full-fledged university students. However we also treat our students like young adults and so they have greater responsibility for their own progress; rather than being spoon-fed, as happens in many other schools. All of our students have a desire to learn from the students and I like their innovative approaches to memorising articles several of my students have taken photographs of my whiteboard when they want to note information of use to them."

English for University Study


English language preparation for academic study

I have made new friends from different countries and improved my English skills. My confidence is better from studying this course. We had to do at least one or two presentations every week in front of the whole class, which helped me to be able to speak to lots of people at once and my confidence in English-speaking generally is better. I have gained a lot!

The aim of this module is to give you experience in identifying the key points of a particular subject and the confidence to convey your opinion appropriately.

Project
At the higher levels, you will be asked to work on a project which will prepare you for university-style teaching and learning methods, as well as the importance of independent study. Forming part of the overall assessment for the module, you will undertake an extended research project making use of both primary and secondary resources. Through directed self-study and tutorial classes, you will work with your teachers to identify key areas that need to be developed in order to improve the quality of your project.

This module helps develop your academic writing skills through the study of sentence structure, vocabulary and academic writing conventions. By looking at different texts, you will learn how to construct a clear and logical argument within a piece of written work through appropriate organisation of your ideas, adopting a suitable writing style and taking into account the needs of the reader. You will learn about the importance of avoiding plagiarism and how to incorporate the idea of others while using your own words.

International Foundation in Business and Humanities, now studying BA (Hons) International Business at Manchester Metropolitan University
"I found my course really useful. It has helped me gain the skills which are necessary for studying at a UK university and it has made me more familiar with the education system and culture of the UK. My English has definitely improved a lot, as before I wasnt used to using academic English. I also learnt lots of new things in my economics class and politics class, which has helped me to better understand world affairs, as well as how to structure essays and give group presentations."

Emma Williams
Head of Student Services, INTO Manchester
"The most important thing I have learned over the years is that a genuine smile is the simplest way to put someone at ease, make them feel safe and help them to feel more confident in their communication. All of my team have travelled, have children or know how much their own parents have worried about them in the past, so we can empathise with the students and parents. I am very proud of the work we do at INTO Manchester and we would welcome anyone to come and join us."

Students who are under the age of 18


Before the Centre accepts a student younger than 18 years of age, parents must sign a consent form authorising our staff to act in loco parentis (on behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency. Parents are also required to complete a medical information form. Relevant forms will be sent to parents and the student with confirmation documents. No student will be accepted at the Centre without completing and returning these forms before the start of the course. The Centre also recommends that parents appoint a UKbased guardian for international students under 18. If your parents are making their own arrangements for guardianship services, or for a friend or family member to act as a guardian, evidence of these arrangements must be supplied before the course starts. A copy of our policy on younger students is available on request.

When should I arrive?


You must arrive in Manchester on the weekend before the first day of your course. You should inform the INTO Admissions Office of your date of arrival and travel arrangements at least seven days prior to your arrival in the UK, so that we can advise either the Residential Tutors, or your host family, of when to expect you.

Travelling to Manchester
If you are arriving in the UK for the first time, we strongly recommend that you fly directly to Manchester or pickup a connecting flight at one of the other international airports that have direct links with Manchester, such as Amsterdam, Dubai and Paris. These routes are preferable, as you will avoid the hassle of transferring through London and the additional travel time. For students arriving at Manchester International Airport, we offer an airport pickup service from the airport to your accommodation, at an additional charge. If you want to make use of this service you will need to provide the INTO Admissions Office with your full flight details in advance of your arrival date. Full details of the pickup service are provided with your confirmation documents.

Your journey to the UK


Once you have accepted your offer, you can begin planning your arrival in the UK.

Pre-departure guide
You will receive a pre-departure guide containing practical information which will help you prepare for travelling to the UK, arriving in Manchester and enrolling on your course of study at the Centre. The pre-departure guide is also available as a mobile app enabling you to find useful information, upload and view photos and videos, access Google maps and find your way around the campus. The guide and mobile app also includes information to help you adapt to living and studying in another culture, booking your airport pickup and confirming your arrival details. www.intohigher.com/mmu/pdg

When you first arrive at the Centre, the team will help you to settle into student life in Manchester, and will remain your first point of contact for any non-academic issue you may have, such as registering with a doctor, opening a bank account or renewing your visa. No matter how large or small your problem may be, there is always someone on hand to help.

On-going support
Social activity programme
While the main reason for coming to Manchester is to study, involvement in non-academic activities is also important to help you adjust to life in the UK and develop a network of friends. The city of Manchester offers a wide variety of options for socialising, experiencing the arts or taking part in sports. INTO also organises a regular programme of activities designed to help you make the most of your time in the UK. The programme includes trips to places of interest in Manchester and other parts of the UK, as well as visits to the theatre and cinema. Full day excursions cost between 1540 per person, depending on the activity. Other social programme activities are charged at variable rates ranging from free to 25 per person.

Orientation programme
When you arrive, you will attend an Orientation programme, carefully designed to introduce you to life and study in Manchester. It is important that you attend the orientation, which includes a formal academic induction where you will register for your course, take an English language placement test, receive your timetable and select your modules for academic programmes. A tour will introduce you to your new home including the INTO Centre and the nearby city centre and public transport and amenities. It will also include social activities, which are a great way to meet new friends and explore the city of Manchester.

24-hour support
The Centre is dedicated to ensuring that you feel totally safe and supported. Upon arrival, all students are issued with an emergency telephone number which can be used to contact Centre staff outside of office hours in the unlikely event of an emergency or urgent situation. Within the halls of residence, 24-hour support is provided by our Residential tutors.

INTO Manchester accommodation


Join a vibrant student community that lives and learns together
At INTO Manchester, students can choose to stay in a hall of residence or in carefully selected homestay accommodation.
Halls of residence
Students choosing to live in residential accommodation will benefit from the close social interaction with other students, learning about each other and their cultures. For many students this is an unforgettable part of their student experience. All of the rooms have free Internet and en-suite shower rooms, and access to a shared, fully-fitted kitchen. It is selfcatered, allowing you the flexibility of preparing meals either together or individually, as and when you wish. Students will need to bring towels and other essential items. A bedding pack containing a quilt, a quilt cover, a pillow and a pillow case will be available to buy if required. You will also need to buy your own cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery, but may have the opportunity to share this cost with other students if you wish.

Living in New Medlock House was the best experience for me.

Before issuing the CAS, INTO will confirm with the Student or the agent that the details to be included in the CAS are correct. Once the student has confirmed that the details are correct, INTO will submit the details to the UK Border Agency (UKBA). If the Student requests any changes to the information on the CAS (other than an update to the Fees paid to date information after making further payments) after INTO has submitted the details to the UKBA and a new CAS is required, the Student will be charged for each request at the then prevailing rate. At the time of going to print the cost is 13 but is subject to review. b. c.

All deferrals are subject to the availability of the requested chosen new Course start date at the time INTO receives the Students request to defer. Any deferral requests in excess of the two occasions referred to above will be considered by the INTO Admissions Office on a case-by-case basis and acceptance of a deferral request will be at the INTO Admissions Offices sole discretion. On the basis that a new CAS will need to be issued if a request to defer is successful, the Student will be charged the fee in respect of the new CAS (as described in paragraph 6c above). Student accommodation will need to be re-booked and is subject to availability. If the reason for deferral is due to visa refusal, the provisions set out under section 10 above shall apply. Students are accepted onto the Course on the strict understanding that progression through the Course and successful completion of the Course are conditional upon satisfactory attendance and successful attainment of specified progression grades. Students are accepted onto the Course on the strict understanding that they attend all classes. By signing the application form, the Student accepts that if they fail to attend classes without good reason, or without the permission of the Programme Manager for the Course, they may be deemed to have withdrawn or be required to leave the Course. During the Course induction all Students will be made aware of the criteria for successful completion of the Course. The assessment of student performance may take into consideration coursework, internal centre examination results, attendance, effort in class and homework. Students who do not meet the academic and/or any other attainment criteria for successful completion will not be allowed to proceed with their intended study plan. In such cases, Students will be offered advice on suitable alternative study options. Students who do not meet the attainment criteria for progression from an English language programme to their intended Course of study (including Extended courses) will be offered advice on alternative study plans which may include further study on the English language Course. In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees. For the Foundation and Diploma Courses, Students may be required to resit certain elements in order to achieve a pass grade. For the Graduate Diploma Course this is not possible. Students will be informed of the need to re-sit as soon as examination results are confirmed and this will involve additional costs in tuition and accommodation. For the Foundation, which starts in September 2013, the resit period is 28 July 2013 to 9 August 2014. For the Foundation, which starts in January 2014, the resit period is June 2015. For the Diploma, which starts in September 2013, the resit period is 28 July 2014 to 13 August 2014. For the Diploma, which starts in January 2014, the resit period is June 2015.

14. English language admissions criteria


a. Offers are made to Students onto both English language and academic Courses on the basis of the certification provided by the Students that they meet the admissions criteria. If, however, the results from the tests and assessment procedures on arrival provide clear evidence that a Students actual level of English language proficiency is significantly lower than claimed and lower than that required for their designated Course or for visa entry purposes, then the Student will be formally advised of the results and of their options. In these cases, Students will not be allowed to proceed with their original Course and will be advised as to possible alternatives. Such alternatives may include: i. an alternative study plan which may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees; or ii. if the English Language level is below the level for visa entry purposes then the Student will have to return home.

10. Cancellation or deferral because of Visa refusal/Visa delays


a. Students are entitled (provided such refusal / delay is not the result of any fraudulent activity) to cancel or defer a Course due to refusal or non receipt of a necessary visa providing that the Student informs the INTO Admissions Office in writing and sends evidence to INTO of the visa refusal or advises INTO that the Student has not yet received the relevant visa from the Embassy as early as possible and in any event no later than two weeks after the Students proposed Course start date (or one week for English for University Study programmes). Cancellation charges (except for Uniplan Insurance cancelation fees which will apply as outlined above in paragraph 7d) will not be incurred in the circumstances described in paragraph (a) above provided that the Student complies with the notice requirements set out and any deposit and/or tuition fees already paid will be refunded accordingly. Failure to provide the relevant information in the timescales set out in paragraph (a) will result in normal cancellation charges applying as set out in paragraph 7 and no fees already paid will be refunded. If the visa refusal states that the visa has been refused due to any type of fraudulent activity by (or with the approval of) the Student then, notwithstanding paragraph 10b, the Student shall be liable for the greater of the 1000 cancellation charge set out in paragraph 7 and the total of all claims, damages, losses (including consequential and indirect losses) and expenses incurred as a result of such fraud and the need to comply with any associated internal or external investigation. INTOs offer to the Student is conditional upon the Student meeting the requirements set out in the Offer Letter. INTO reserves the right to withdraw its offer to the Student if the requirements of the Offer Letter are not met. If a Student does not meet the conditions of the Offer Letter (Academic or English), provided that the Student informs INTO in writing and sends evidence that the conditions have not been met as early as possible but at least four weeks before the Course start date, no cancellation charges will be payable by the Student to INTO. This information must arrive at the INTO Admissions Office in the UK no later than four weeks before the Course start date or the day after the Students exam results are published (if this falls after the four week cut off point). If INTO receives the relevant information (including evidence of the date of publication of the results if this falls after the four week cut off point) within the time lines outlined above, any deposits/fees already paid (minus the Uniplan Insurance cancellation fees as outlined above in paragraph 7d) will be refunded by INTO to the Student. Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded. A Student may defer the start of a Course if the Student has been prevented by external events from starting the Course, up to a maximum of two occasions. An external event includes (without limitation) serious illness or injury of the Student or of a close member of the Students family. Students must ensure that any request to defer is accompanied by a full explanation of the reasons for the request, is presented in writing and reaches the INTO Admissions Office in the UK at least four weeks before the Course start date. If INTO receives the request after this date, normal cancellation charges will apply (see the Cancellations Charges section above). The request should also include details of the Students preferred new start date for the Course.

15. Behaviour and welfare


a. By signing the application form, the Student consents to INTO requesting and receiving any relevant information from any University school, service or centre concerning the Students behaviour and welfare. If the Student has welfare and/or pastoral problems or concerns, the Student should in the first instance refer to the INTO Manchester Student Welfare policy or contact the INTO Manchester Welfare Officer. For all Courses, classes will normally be held Monday to Friday between the hours of 08:00 and 18:30 but INTO reserves the right to hold classes outside of these times. The maximum class size is normally 16 students for English for University Study and 20 students for English language modules on academic Courses. However, where appropriate, classes may be combined for university style lectures. Lessons will take place in the form of classes, seminars and workshops. Class sizes will vary depending on the learning format (e.g. lecture, seminar, lab practicals). Examinations may be held in the evening, on weekends and public holidays. No regular classes will take place at INTO on recognised public holidays in England. Please refer to the Fees page in the INTO Manchester Metropolitan University brochure for exact dates. No refunds will be made for classes not taking place on these dates. On occasion examinations may be held on these dates. Term dates relevant to individual Courses are published in this brochure and no classes will take place outside these dates. Students who successfully complete the INTO Foundation course may, at INTOs sole discretion receive a refund of all tuition fees paid if, having complied with INTO staff advice with regard to their university application, they have not been offered a place at a UK university on a course appropriate to their qualification. Students who successfully complete the INTO Foundation, Diploma or Graduate Diploma programme and who meet the individual entry requirements of Manchester Metropolitan Universityfor their chosen degree will be permitted to progress onto their course provided they have received a conditional offer and met the terms of that offer and any other University entry requirements.

19. Arrivals
a. Students must meet any minimum age requirements listed under the appropriate course key facts section of the brochure Students must arrive at the Centre on the Saturday or Sunday before the Course start date and register and enrol on the published start date. Late arrivals INTO expects all Students to arrive and start their Course on the scheduled start date. However, INTO recognises that Students are sometimes delayed for unavoidable reasons (these would include, for example, cancellation of or delays to flights or other transport). In exceptional cases, INTO will allow Students to arrive up to two weeks after the published start date for academic Courses and up to one week late on English language Courses. All late arrivals must be approved in advance by the Centre Director of INTO as soon as the Student becomes aware that he or she will not arrive in time for the scheduled start date. If, due to late arrival, a new CAS has to be issued, there will be a charge for the issuing of the new CAS (as set out in paragraph 6b above). No discount or refund of fees will be given for late arrivals. At the time of application to the Course, Students are invited to select their preferred accommodation. INTO aims to provide the accommodation as requested but, if this is not available, INTO reserves the right to provide an alternative type of accommodation. This will be charged at the published rate for such accommodation as set out on the Fees page within this brochure. Accommodation is allocated as per the instructions on the application form and upon receipt of the signed copy of the Students Acceptance Form and payment of the appropriate accommodation deposit (as evidenced by the Students invoice). Students will be sent a draft/sample copy of the accommodation contract with their Offer Letter and are required to sign an Accommodation Acceptance Form to acknowledge their acceptance of the conditions of the accommodation contract when returning their confirmation documents and deposit. The accommodation deposit is described in the Offer Letter. Accommodation is guaranteed once the deposit has been paid, the student has returned the signed Accommodation Acceptance Form, and the Student has received confirmation that the room they have requested is available. INTO accommodation is only available to Students who are registered on full-time INTO Courses. Accommodation is not available to family members of Students (unless they are also registered on full-time Courses at INTO). INTO advises Students to insure their personal belongings. INTO shall have no liability for any loss, theft and/or damage to Students personal belongings. INTO can provide details of insurance policies on request. Where a Course spans a holiday period accommodation will still be charged for those periods. Damage and Sundry expenses deposit All Students will be required to pay a damage and sundry expenses deposit of 500 which will be invoiced at the time of booking their course and shall be payable at least six weeks prior to the start date of the Course. Such deposit is refundable at the end of the Course minus any costs for any damages, exceptional cleaning or fines which have been incurred either to the residential/homestay accommodation or to the premises and/or facilities of INTO which are discovered during occupancy or once an inspection has taken place after the Students departure. INTO will repay any monies owing within 60 days of the Students final Course end date. Breakages Students are responsible for payment of any damage caused by them to property owned or occupied by the University or INTO. Students in residential accommodation may be required to sign an inventory on arrival and departure. INTO reserves the right to recover costs for damage or exceptional cleaning from Students. Any damage which requires repairs and/or exceptional cleaning which occurs whilst the Student is living in the property or is required following the Students departure will be charged to the Student separately at the going rate. Such amounts will be deducted from the deposit payable by the Student as set out in paragraph 20i above. If the amount due is in excess of the deposit paid by the Student, INTO will invoice the Student for the excess amount. The Student shall pay any such amounts to INTO within 30 days of the date of the invoice. The damage and sundry expenses deposit is to cover outstanding damages and repairs once the Student has vacated the property and/or any fines or damage charges incurred during the study period remaining unpaid at the time of the Students departure. All accommodation fees for the entire duration of the accommodation booked must be paid in full in pounds sterling by cheque, bankers draft, bank transfer, credit or debit card at least six weeks prior to the start date of the Course. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. Residential/Homestay Accommodation In all cases except visa refusals, Students who wish to cancel their accommodation booking will be subject to the cancellation fees as set out in the copy of the accommodation contract they will have received with their Offer Letter. Students are bound by the terms and conditions of their accommodation contract upon the signing of the accommodation contract or once the Student arrives and moves into the residential/homestay accommodation whichever the earlier. Full accommodation charges will apply during any notice period as outlined in the accommodation contract. No change to the type of accommodation arrangements will be made without the written permission of the Head of Student Services or the Centre Director of INTO. This permission will only be given in exceptional circumstances. If a Student makes a change to his/her accommodation arrangements or leaves accommodation provided by INTO without the prior written consent of the Centre Director, the Student shall remain liable for the full accommodation payments invoiced or reserved at the time of confirmation. Where a Student is moving to private accommodation, the Students parent or guardian must certify to INTO that this is the case and that the provision of accommodation by INTO is no longer required. For the avoidance of doubt the Student shall remain liable for the full accommodation payments invoiced or reserved at the time of confirmation in respect of the vacated property. Residential accommodation is not always available over the two week Christmas period to Students who are under 18 years old. Alternative arrangements may be made by individual agreement at the time of booking and will incur a supplementary charge of up to 200 per week.

23. Airport pickups


a. Airport pickups may be booked as specified earlier in this brochure. The Airport pickup will be for the passenger named on the application form only or for named Students if Students agree in advance (and notify INTO) that they wish to share an airport pickup. Additional family members or chaperones accompanying the named passenger will be charged additional fees. The first 30 minutes of waiting time is included in the fee as specified in this brochure. Additional fees may apply for waiting periods longer than 30 minutes. Fees will only be refunded for missed pickups if the Student informs INTO, by telephoning the INTO emergency telephone number (as publicised in the pre-departure guide), that their pickup will not be required or will be delayed before they leave the departure airport, or if they have arrived at their destination airport and the transfer is a no show, they telephone the INTO emergency telephone number (as publicised in the pre-departure guide), that their transfer is a no show before they leave the arrival airport. Airport transfer fees must be paid for at the time of booking. Airport pickups are compulsory for students under 18, unless parents provide INTO with evidence that they have made alternative arrangements for the collection of their child from the UK entry airport. A similar compulsory delivery of students under 18 to their departure airport applies. INTO expects Students to assist INTO with its Green Travel Plan, as maybe reasonably required. Students may not bring cars to campus unless otherwise agreed in advance by INTO. Please contact INTO for further details of our Green Travel plan.

INTO will process personal information provided to it by Students in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and any other applicable data protection legislation. For further information about how INTO handles and uses personal data please see INTOs Privacy Policy which can be viewed at www.intohigher.com/uk/en-gb/footer/legal-and-privacy.aspx. INTO will only use the personal information provided to it by students in order to provide and administer the course. Students acknowledge and agree that by providing their personal details, INTO may also pass their personal data to external agencies or other selected third parties for the purposes of seeking participation in student surveys, undertaking academic audits or ensuring compliance with INTOs regulatory responsibilities. For further information about how INTO uses personal data relating to students please refer to paragraph 28f. Subject to the following, INTO (including its staff and/or representatives) shall have no liability to the Student for any loss, damage, costs or expenses arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions except where such loss or damage is directly caused by INTO (or its staff or representatives). Where such loss or damage is directly caused by INTO (or its staff or representatives), INTOs liability shall, subject to the following, be limited to 150% of all fees paid or payable by the Student to INTO. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or restrict INTOs liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation or in any other circumstances where liability may not be so limited under any applicable law. INTO shall have no liability for failure or delay to supply the Course and/or any service contemplated by these Terms and Conditions due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This brochure is prepared in advance of the academic year to which it relates. The information is correct at the time of going to press (November 2012) and the programmes, Courses and services described herein are those which INTO is planning to offer. However, INTO reserves the right, to amend, add or remove any programmes, Course and/or services set out in this brochure and/ or the timetable, delivery, content syllabus and assessment of such Courses. INTO therefore strongly recommends that immediately prior to making any application INTO or accepting any offer from INTO Students should refer to the most up-to-date version of the Course descriptions and specifications and the regulations on INTO website. INTO also reserves the right to make variations to the contents and methods of delivery of the programmes, Courses and services, to discontinue programmes, Courses and services, and to combine and merge programmes and Courses, if such action is reasonably considered to be necessary by INTO. Applicants to INTO programmes and Courses will be notified as soon as practicable of any material changes likely to have a bearing on their application, such as cancellation of, or major modification to programmes and Courses offered, changes to accommodation provision or fees and charges to be levied by the University. INTO in marketing its programmes aims to comply with the British Code of Advertising Practice issued by the Advertising Standards Authority. Applications to universities for undergraduate or postgraduate courses are governed solely by the applicable terms and conditions of that university, and not by these Terms and Conditions. INTO operates an equal opportunities admissions policy. It aims to ensure that no applicant will receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or political or religious belief. INTO welcomes applications from candidates with disabilities. These Terms and Conditions and the Offer Letter constitute the entire agreement between INTO and the Student for the provision of English language Courses and/or academic Courses and any other INTO Course. These Terms and Conditions supersede any promises, representations, warranties whether written or oral made by or on behalf of one party to the other. INTO reserves the right to vary these Terms and Conditions without the consent of the Student at any time prior to entering into a contract with the Student. In such circumstances, INTO will provide a revised set of Terms and Conditions. INTO may assign, transfer, or sub-contract in whole or in part some or all of the benefit and/or burden of these Terms and Conditions. If any court or competent authority finds that any provision of these Terms and Conditions (or part of any provision) are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected. The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and any dispute (including non-contractual disputes) arising out of or in connection with the subject matter or formation of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. The English Courts will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes (including any non-contractual disputes) which may arise out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions. Students and INTO agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

a. INTO Manchester is required to keep a copy of Students passport, identity card for foreign nationals or United Kingdom immigration status document and Students contact details. Under the TIER 4 Immigration rules (PBS) INTO will report to the UKBA in the following circumstances: i. if the Student fails to enrol on the Course within the enrolment period; ii. if the Student misses 10 expected contacts without INTOs permission; iii. if INTO stops being the Students immigration sponsor for any other reason, for example, if the Student moves into an immigration category that does not need an approved education provider; iv. if there are any significant changes in the Students circumstances, for example, if the length of a course of study becomes shorter; or v. if INTO has any suspicions that the Student is breaking any conditions attached to their permission.

26. Medical treatment and accident insurance


a. Acceptance by the Student (or by his/her parent or legal guardian if the Student is under 18), of a place to study at INTO Manchester indicates that the Student (or parent/legal guardian if the Student is under 18): i. gives permission for the administration of first aid and appropriate nonprescription medication to the Student if required; and ii. if the Student is under 18, for INTO to recommend that the Student seeks medical, dental or optical treatment when required. All Students must maintain a valid and comprehensive medical and accident insurance policy for the duration of their stay. Students unable to provide evidence of adequate cover at the time of their application are required to take up the Uniplan Insurance cover as a condition of enrolment. INTO strongly recommends that parents appoint a UK based guardian for international Students under 18 years of age. If parents are making their own arrangements for either guardianship services or a friend or family member in the UK to act as guardian to the Student, then evidence of these guardianship arrangements must be supplied before the Course commences. Parents of Students under 18 must sign a consent form authorising nominated INTO staff to act (on behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency. They must also complete a medical information form. Both forms will be included with the INTO offer documents and must be completed and returned to INTO at the confirmation stage. Confirmation documents will not be issued unless these forms are returned. Failure to return these forms could result in a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies not being issued. In the case of Students under 18, any reference in these Terms and Conditions to liability of Students shall also infer liability on the parents or guardian of the Student and such liability is joint and several. Students agree that copies of their regular reports on their academic progress and performance can be supplied to parents, sponsors or agents without notification. Consent is hereby given by the Student to the above until formally withdrawn in writing. Students agree that if INTO has serious concerns about their welfare, INTO can contact their parents or family members without notification. Consent is hereby given by the Student to the above until formally withdrawn in writing. Students and, if the Student is under 18, the Students parents/guardians/ sponsors hereby consent that the Students records and achievements, images and sound may be used for promotional purposes. Such consent to remain in force until formally withdrawn in writing. INTO is obliged to report visa status, attendance records and UK contact details to relevant UK government bodies and will do so in accordance with its legal obligations under relevant legislation (including under the Data Protection Act 1998). INTO may disclose information about the Students for the purposes of (without limitation): i. the administration of justice; ii. the exercise of any functions of either House of Parliament; iii. the exercise of any functions conferred on any person by or under any enactment; iv. the exercise of any functions of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown or a government department; and/or v. the exercise of any other functions of a public nature exercised in the public interest by any person i.e. necessary for legitimate purposes and justified by the Data Protection Act.
