*New courses which are subject to validation
All courses go through a rigorous approval process known as ‘validation’. When new courses are shown as ‘subject to validation’, they are in the final stages of development, and require approval by LIBF’s Academic Board.
You can apply to study a new course while it is subject to validation. The majority of new courses get approved; however, this is not guaranteed. If the course does not go ahead, or if the course content varies significantly as a result of changes requested by LIBF's Academic Board, we will be in contact with you as soon as possible to discuss your options. Once the course is validated, the 'subject to validation' statement is removed.
