Every effort has been made to ensure that the training information in these pages is accurate and up to date. However, our training courses are subject to ongoing development as, for instance, in the case of our thematic sessions, organised ad hoc by first-year students. This could entail amendments to, rescheduling or cancellation of advertised courses and activities. The EASTBIO DTP reserves the right to make changes at any time, providing as much notice to affected students as possible. Should you notice any inaccuracies in our pages, please email EASTBIO.
