Programme structure

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

Questions

  1. Should we have a graphic to show nested or stair-cased programmes
, maybe like the
  1. (e.g. see Master of Applied Finance
programmes
  1. programme)?
Need one word/phrase
  1. What language do we use to describe 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 Professional Accounting ones).
  1. ?
  2. Can people move only one way (or a different way) or both between the programmes?
  3. Is it easier to get an entry requirement exemption for the PGCertIM than the PGDipIM? For the PGDipIM than the MIM?

    Programme

    Questions

    1. The 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, 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
    1. the Calendar. Which do we follow? The details are:
      1. Calendar requires two courses in Part 1, one course (
    of
      1. chosen from two) in Part 2, and electives from the MIM and other Honours and Master's programmes to make up the 180 points. 
      2. '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
      1. parts, or MIM 592. 
      2. '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).
