**University Courses List Condition

The optimal/elective courses that run in each academic year are subject to change in line with faculty availability and student demand, and may be capped or be unavailable in the timetable, so there is no guarantee every optional/elective course will be available every year. Where a course is set to run, students for whom it is an option will typically be given priority over students for whom it is only an elective.
