Questions
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?
