is enrolled as an postgraduate student at an AMSI Institution
during first semester 2008, or will commence enrolment in second semester
2008. Your application can be endorsed by your current supervisor or Head
of Department. Other circumstances which lead you to believe that you should
qualify as an AMSI student will be considered on a case by case basis. |

Will the courses have assessment? |
