  • Ask current students how much reading, writing, fieldwork and assessment actually occur.
  • Verify admission, duration and role-specific qualification claims from authoritative sources.
  • Which subjects, tools and practical projects are guaranteed?
  • Which roles are possible after undergraduate study versus after professional or postgraduate qualification?
