At the time of going to press joint courses have not yet been initiated but the potential of the CMI to transform both research and taught courses in science/technology and humanities areas such as history is such that interested applicants should contact CMI direct to check on the latest developments.
Organisation of graduate students
Each Graduate Student works in an institution under the overview of a Degree Committee covering a range of cognate subjects. Degree Committees are responsible for a number of processes of importance to Graduate Students such as appointing Ph.D. and M.Phil. Examiners, agreeing dissertation and thesis titles and recommending students to the Board of Graduate Studies for the award of Degrees.
Degree Committees are themselves grouped into five Schools: Arts and Humanities. Humanities and Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and the School of Technology. The next five sections of this Prospectus set out all the research facilities and M.Phil., Diploma and Certificate opportunities in each Faculty and Department. Faculties and Departments are listed alphabetically within their School and Degree Committee.
