It is policy that all students who register for any exam must purchase the most recent edition of the textbook required for that subject. This will ensure that you have the most up to date version as textbooks are subject to regular review. If you are repeating or have deferred an exam to the next sitting, you may also need a new textbook. If you are applying for an exam for which the textbook has not been updated then it is NOT compulsory to buy a new book. If you any queries about textbook updates, please contact the education department on 01 6772582.
