What approach?
Did you plan to do this degree by doing 120 credits at each level or is that the only way to do it?

Level 1
- M150 - 30 credits
- T175 - 30 credits
- T122 - 30 credits
- TM128 - 30 credits
Level 2
- M253 - 10 credits
- M255 - 30 credits
- M263 - 30 credits
- M257 - 20 credits
- M256 - 30 credits
Level 3
- M359 - 30 credits
- M362 - 30 credits
- M363 - 30 credits
- TM470 - 30 credits
I will be doing all modules before they retire (a few on the last presentation). Let us know your plan.
