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.
Questions
- Should we have a graphic to show nested or stair-cased programmes (e.g. see Master of Applied Finance programme)?
- What language do we use to describe describe the stair-cased, integrated, stepping stones?
- Can people move only one way (or a different way) or both between the programmes?
- Is it easier to get an entry requirement exemption for the PGCertIM than the PGDipIM? For the PGDipIM than the MIM?

Questions
- The programme structure seems to differ between '2016 Professional Programmes', '2016 Master of Information Management' and the Calendar. Which do we follow? The details are:
- Calendar requires two courses in Part 1, one course (chosen from 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).
