"Nested programs"

A suite of postgraduate programs, normally graduate certificate, graduate diploma and masters (but may extend to professional doctorate) where each lower award is a complete sub-set of the next award. Depending on the entry requirements, students may enter or exit the suite of awards at any level. For example, a student may progress upwards from the Graduate certificate, or may enter at the Masters level but exit with either a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma. An award for a higher level qualification automatically over-rides the lower level qualification.
