If I had studied a different subject at undergraduate level, I might have
had this problem (as whenever I tried to look at the central timetabling, I
had to give up). Luckily my School transcribes the student timetable onto
an acrobat document for everyone (because ours is more complex than other
Schools).
If I needed it transcribing, I would ask my NMH though.
