Animations & Interaction

Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Our inclusive practice commitments ensure that students are not treated less favourably or disadvantaged because of disability, age, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation (protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act 2010).

They apply to all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the university and all staff - in either academic or professional services areas who are involved in learning, teaching, assessment or related activity. It also applies to all modules, programmes and courses, irrespective of the mode of delivery, whether these are or are not credit bearing, or extracurricular learning activities.
