•   Content Fairy (Unlicensed) Under 'Specialisations' for Culture+Context Design, Media Design and Industrial Design, make the names of the specialisations (currently plain text on their own lines) h4s.

Important information for degree requirements: We state that students without 14 credits at NCEA Level 3 in one of English, History, Art History, Classics, Geography or Economics, will need to complete WRIT 101 or WRIT 151 during your first year. Should we be saying what you do (instead) if you do have 14 credits?

Important information for degree requirements: We list examples of complementary subjects as Art History, Cultural Anthropology, Film, Geography, Marketing, Māori Studies, Management, Media Studies, Music, Pacific Studies, Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology. Should we be linking to the Areas of Study that contain these subjects? Do shall we record this an a future improvement but leave it as is for now?

Important information for degree requirements

• Delete course names when the listed course is named in the requirement block above. First bullet should read: 'Design students need good writing skills.

Important information for Media Design requirements:

Cutlure + Context Major Requirements - correct following typo

BDI students must complete one minor in a complementary subject from outside the BDI major subjects.

Under the Industrial Design Study Option correct following typo

Design for Digital Making

Learn about the tools, technologies, principles and practices behind making things, and how to apply these creatively. Get the basic skills and knowledge you need for traditional industrial design and find new ways of applying them through digital technology.

Please correct type in second paragraph of introduction.

At Victoria, Design is about innovation. While developing the skills and knowledge that industry currently demands, you'll also be pushing the limits, and in a sense, forging the future of design practice. 

For the related areas of study please use 'Anthropology' instead of 'Sociology and Anthropology.

Utilising our new 'leads to a" line, the two destinations should be:
