COMMENTS/CONDITIONS
NATURE OF CHANGE

Approved
Proposal to change pathway title
Old pathway title:
MSc Information

Systems

The proposed title would better represent the pathway content

The International Office has advised this title would be
preferable according to market research

The USE (tariff for 26 students prepared) has indicated that they
would prefer to have the word ‘business’ in the title

Existing students are not affected as they have completed their
course, those who require a resit in the next academic year will
be given the choice of pathway titles, new students will join on
the new pathway title
