Advice on textbooks

The high expense associated with the purchase of textbooks and the variety of texts available necessitate that students undertaking a course buy only those texts suited to their individual work method and that satisfy the academic requirements of the faculty and the course. This may only be achieved through individual examination of the relevant texts and consultation with staff and fellow students.

It is recommended that, in general, students defer the purchase of books until after the introductory teaching in each subject. This should familiarise the student with an outline of the course and provide opportunity for discussion with teaching staff.
