• Ready for FoE to check
• Stair-cased programmes covered on the same page. Not sure what the page title would be nor where to explain this yet.
• Not sure that I have the right messaging about the opt out provision? 
• Do you also want to promote enrolment in to the PGCert/PGDip?

Programme structure

Nested within the Master of Secondary School Leadership (MSSL) is the Postgraduate Certificate and the Postgraduate Diploma in Secondary School Leadership, which provide early exit qualifications for candidates who wish to finish their study before completing the full Master's programme.

Thoughts and questions

• Graphic to show nested or stair-cased programmes, maybe like the Applied Finance programmes?
• Different pattern from all the VBS families, except Professional Accounting.
