  • Understanding Cambridge University and Its Grading Scheme
    Understanding Cambridge University and its Grading Scheme Samantha Farrell-Schmitt earned her undergraduate degree in 1996 from University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom (UK). For the purposes of placing this in the context of an American review, we wish to emphasize the reputation of her university and explain the grading system used in the UK and how it roughly translates to US scores. The University of Cambridge (www.cam.ac.uk) is one of the preeminent universities in the world, founded over 800 years ago, and containing 31 constituent colleges and more than 100 academic departments. It has produced 91 Nobel Laureates, more than any other university in the world. The University of Cambridge is ranked by US News and World Report as the 6th best university in the world, ranked alongside Harvard, MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the University of Oxford (see http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global- universities/rankings). Times Higher Education ranks the university as 5th in the world, the Center for World University Rankings places it as 4th, ahead of both Princeton and Yale. Amongst the 31 colleges of the university is Homerton College, where Samantha studied. Homerton is generally regarded as the leading center for the study of Primary and Secondary Education in the UK. As a UK university, Cambridge follows a grading system different to most US colleges and universities. Thus, the scores and percentages shown on Samantha’s university transcript must be read with an understanding of this distinction. Samantha’s degree shows that she has graduated with honors (honours, to use the British spelling).

    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

  • Developing Leadership for Global Impact in Postgraduate Education
    Developing leadership for global impact in postgraduate education Summary Report from the Imperial College London Graduate School Roundtable Debate on 25 October 2019 Report Date 03/12/2019 Authors: Dr Janet De Wilde and Dr Elena Forasacco 1 Introduction This report is the outcome of our 2019 Annual Roundtable Debate on ‘Developing leadership for global impact in postgraduate education’. It took place on 25 October 2019 at Imperial College London. The roundtable debate brought together representatives from different sectors including the Wellcome Trust, UK Council for Graduate Education, Advance HE, VITAE, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry, Engineering Council, University of Cambridge, University College London, Brunel University and Imperial College London. The full list of contributors is presented at the end. To set the scene, Dr Louise Drake (figure 1) presented an approach to Figure 1: Dr Louise Drake leadership development advocated at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Global context The current global context drives the need for a change in our approach to leadership development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide us with a clear vision for the future and they should be considered within the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution driven by Digital Data and Artificial Intelligence. With the accelerated use of resources, climate instability, concerns about a sixth mass extinction, and growing inequality, the Global SDGs will not be achieved if we do not adopt transformative approaches. We need to rethink the economy and business mindset, as well as the concept of impactful leadership. There is a need for ‘system-level’ change – Figure 2: Framing leadership in the global context fundamentally at the level of values and mental giving need for a new approach models regarding the relationship between humans and nature – which is an ambitious task but the reason why leadership is so important.

What Previous ERASMUS Students Say 29 3 ERASMUS Study Abroad Department of English Studies A Year as an Exchange Student: Really Worth It? The answer to this question is an overwhelming "YES"! Trying to decide whether to spend a semester/year studying abroad is something many students spend a lot of time pondering. Yes, it's true that the application and accreditation processes may involve quite a lot of formalities, and other areas of your life will need attention too, e.g. securing enough money to support yourself, renting out your flat/ room, and finding someone to look after your hamsters! Still, the benefits of spending even just one semester abroad are definitely worth it, particularly for language students! The chances are you'll come back a different person, with broadened horizons and a new perspective on things, within and beyond of your degree subject. You will learn to be self-sufficient and handle problems and obstacles on your own. Moreover, you will meet new people from all around the world, perfect your foreign language skills and see interesting, new places.

The project aims at challenging traditional manufacturing systems science and to allow future manufacturing operations to be delivered as a service based on dynamic resource requirements and provision, thus opening manufacturing to entirely different business and cost models. The project team, including researchers at University of Nottingham, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College, as well as industrial partners, addresses this challenge from different theoretical and applied perspectives. In particular, the successful candidate will work on developing an applied mathematics methodology incorporating elements of computational optimisation, control theory, and scientific machine learning. The Research Associate is expected to play a crucial role in the accomplishment of the following objectives: • Establishing a mathematical formalism for elastic manufacturing systems, guided by concepts from operations research and hybrid systems control. • The development of a computational optimisation methodology based on multilevel optimisation and dynamic programming. • Risk and reward modelling, optimisation, and assessment of autonomous elastic services. • Testing and validation in data-driven scenarios. • Public engagement, and dissemination of results.
