    Questions

    Questions

    1. Can the PGCert be studied full-time? If not, what does this mean for international students?
    2. Are there any more specifics on the meaning of 'relevant' and of 'acceptable"?
    3. The programme structure seems to differ between '2016 Professional Programmes', '2016 Master of Information Management' and the Calendar. Which do we follow? The details are:
      1. Calendar requires two courses in Part 1, one course (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, or MIM 592. 
      3. '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).
