Questions

  1. Is it necessary to state that an NZ Bachelor's degree if required? Not only is this inconsistent with most other VBS professional programmes, but it will deter international students. I have already removed it in anticipation of this answer (smile)
  2. Not sure that my course range for the last programme requirement will give the same result as the schedule?

  3. There don't seem to be four optional (elective?) courses (as mentioned in the last bullet under supplementary information above). I seem to have three plus the research course. Is this also optional?
  4. Does GOVT 562 classify as research? If so, do we change the value of 'Research component' from 'None' to 'Minimal'?
