‘Material’ information is not necessarily all of the information that might potentially be of interest to a student but is the information that the CMA considers critical to a prospective student in order to make an informed decision about what and where to study. 

The New Programme Proposal (NPP) Formidentifies those fields that are considered to contain ‘material’ information and are denoted with (CMA). A summary of these is given in the image below:
