Does subject to validation means that there must be a certain number of people taking it, then the course can operate? Have any of you applied to courses that have the status "subject to validation"? Should I apply to those courses?

I presume it means that the course is new and the content needs to be examined first to make sure it is appropriate for undergrad study :confused:

Strange. You still got accepted for the course?

yep yep! there were a couple more courses that were the same too. i think it just means that they are new courses (which i know mine was) and they have to check the subject material is ok

i dunno though! :tongue:
I think it means that it is a new course and is awaiting validation from the board to allow the university to teach it. I was going to apply for a course that was subject to validation but I didn't bother in the end. :smile:

Hey trev tried to catch you on MSN i think its up the shoot though. I think its what everyone has said here e.g new technology courses for example...Iam thinking of swapping to games computing which is also * subject to validation :smile:
