Questions

  • Who are the relevant programme directors? Or can I remove the word 'relevant'?
  • I get that PGDipArts is an exit qualification option, but do we even mention this if it isn't a 'nested' or 'staircased' qualification?
  • The substitution seems very structured. Do we include this on the web (I an unsure how/where, but am sure I could think of something if necessary)?
