Comments

• Ready for VBS to check.
• Not as clear as with Information Management if these three programmes are stair-cased?
• 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 Studies (MIS) is integrated with the Postgraduate Certificate and the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Studies, which provide stepping stones to the full MIS 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 Finance ones).
• Is it easier to get an entry requirement exemption for the PGCertIS than the PGDipIS? For the PGDipIS than the MIS?
