Questions
- 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
Not sure that my course range for the last programme requirement will give the same result as the schedule (but I have no easy way of returning the courses in the schedule online so have tried this).
- 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?
- Does GOVT 562 classify as research? If so, do we change the value of 'Research component' from 'None' to 'Little'?
- What does 'modular' mean?
