Currently there is no workflow on the new recruitment pages. This means changes go live without being double-checked which isn't always a good thing. We need to talk about what is involved in setting up workflow

• would it already be appropriate that workflow goes back to the Schools or Faculties to approve changes we are doing on their behalf; or
• in the interim do we just keep workflow within the team for peer review.

The SME doesn't want a PG subject page for each individual language and culture subject (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese, plus Asian Studies). For UG these are grouped into 2 AoS: Asian Languages & Cultures and European L&C.

Options:

Add PG content to subject block on AoS - con: would get cluttered

Group into single Languages and cultures PG subject or 2 PG subjects, Asian L&C, Euro L&C - con: can't pass subject as URL parameter to preselect subject when linking to quals

New Postgraduate tab on AoS - cons: single tab only so might get long, can't pass subject

Currently for PG we usually say "Apply using the Online Enrolment System.", linking directly to https://signups.victoria.ac.nz/oes/

The UG "Apply to study at Victoria" button goes to http://www.victoria.ac.nz/study/apply-enrol/apply

Which should we use from now on and, if not the direct OES link, should we go back and change the existing pages?
