Comments
- Ready for VBS to check.
- Stair-cased programmes covered on the same page. Not sure what the page title would be nor where to explain this yet.
- We have an issues with the word programme referring to both an individual qualification and the family.
Programme structure
The Master of Information Management (MIM) is integrated with the Postgraduate Certificate and the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Management, which provide stepping stones to the full MIM for those who are uncertain whether they can commit to the entire programme.
Thoughts and questions
- Graphic to show nested or stair-cased programmes, maybe like the Applied Finance programmes?
- Need one word/phrase to describe the stair-cased, integrated, stepping stones. Then use it for all sets of programmes that work the same way (i.e. in VBS all except the Professional Accounting ones).
- Is it easier to get an entry requirement exemption for the PGCertIM than the PGDipIM? For the PGDipIM than the MIM?

Thoughts and questions
Programme structure seems to differ between '2016 Professional Programmes', '2016 Master of Information Management' and the Calendar, with some differences being errors not style/preference. Clearing these up should be a priority for somebody (Publications, VBS, ?) even if not actually my job. I really only need to know:
The facts / what is correct: More often than not it is the Calendar.
What (or how much) do I say on the web (as we don't have to convey every requirement).
What message or style do I follow: For example, are these professional programmes inclusive and supporting, even of those who don't meet the minimum entry requirements?
Some examples of the differences:
MIM structure. The Calendar states two courses in Part 1, one (of two) in Part 2 and electives from the MIM and other Honours and Master's programmes to make up the 180 points. '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. '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).
