 [NB1]Found on the Canterbury MBA pages. Can’t link to the original because you need to be logged in. Could link to this page maybe though it doesn’t look especially reputable http://www.allaboutcareers.com/careers-advice/postgraduate-study/what-is-an-mba

 [NB2]This element could be used as the basis for a comparison tool/table

 [NB3]16xcourses @ $2434.20 each. Maybe too much content for at-a-glance?

 [NB4]Is this suited to the at a glance section? What are our criteria? Controlled vocabularies/limited need for free text???

 [NB5]Could we have a controlled vocab for this ‘composition’ content?

 [NB6]Delivery method

 [NB7]Move to requirements?

 [NB8]Based on no evidence whatsoever, I think PG students would be interested in this on the card – it would be a way of showing something about the family too.

 [NB9]I don’t think this is needed. Doesn’t mean we can’t use the term though.

 [NB10]This link assumes we redirect to the new MBA page and that this has the PD contact details on it

 [NB11]The term ‘elective’ is used to mean something different in the rest of our content: “Any course from this university including those listed from other degrees”

 [NB12]Charlotte told me she gets lots of questions about this. From school site. Could leave there and link to it.

 [NB14]Could override a standard Leads to heading

 [NB15]Is this needed given most people are Vic returnees? We could have it as an optional standard block if people turn on International. This wouldn’t capture kiwi students from other Unis though.
