• Stair-cased programmes covered on the same page. Not sure what the page title would be nor where to explain this yet.Seems too repetitive. Maybe I could try a table, where each programme has a column and each row is a requirement? 
  
  

Programme structure

The Master of Information Management (MI) is integrated with the Postgraduate Certificate and the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Management, with provide stepping stones to the full MIM for those who are uncertain whether they can commit to the entire programme.

Thoughts and questions

• Graphic to show nested or stair-cased programmes, maybe like the Applied Finance programmes?

• Need one word/phrase to describe the stair-cased, integrated, stepping stones. Then use it for all sets of programmes that work the same way (i.e. in VBS all except the Applied FInance ones).

Thoughts and questions 

• Programme structure seems to differ between '2016 Professional Programmes', '2016 Master of Information Management' and the Calendar, with some differences being errors not style/preference. Clearing these up should be a priority for somebody (Publications, VBS, ?) even if not actually my job. I really only need to know:
  • The facts / what is correct: More often than not it is the Calendar.
  • What (or how much) do I say on the web (as we don't have to convey every requirement).
  • What message or style do I follow: For example,
  the first states two cores in Part 1 and eight electives courses in Part 2, yet the Calendar states two core in Part 1, one core in Part 2 and 120 points of elective courses from Part 3
• MMIM 592 being worth 30 points means any stated number of courses where this is one of the electives will be wrong.
• 'Professional Programmes' states that Part 3 is from MIM courses and the Calendar extends this to include other approved courses from other Honours or Master's programmes). Which do I follow?
• • are these professional programmes inclusive and supporting, even of those who don't meet the minimum entry requirements?
• Some examples of the differences:
  • MIM structure. The Calendar states two courses in Part 1, one (of two) in Part 2 and electives from the MIM and other Honours and Master's programmes to make up the 180 points. '2016 Professional Programmes' states two courses in Part 1, eight electives from the MIM in Part 2 and (tacked on at the end) an individual case study project with no mention of courses, points, Parts, or MIM 592.  '2016 Master of Information Management' states two courses in Part 1, eight electives from the MIM and other Honours and Master's programmes in Part 2 and a consulting-style case-study project (MMIM 590, but no mention of MMIM 592). 
  • Max points from elsewhere: The Calendar contains no limit on the number of courses or points that may come from other degrees, except that there are some mandatory courses from the MIM, '2016 Professional Programmes' contains nothing on this topic, and '2016 Master of Information Management that up to three electives may come from other programmes.
