Section One- Programme Information FACULTY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL STUDIES Undergraduate Programmes Handbook 2007/08 DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS Foreword Welcome to the University of Kent, and, to those of you returning, welcome back! The aim of this handbook is to show all undergraduate teaching carried out by the Department of Electronics this academic year. In addition, it gives important information about the department, regulations, and campus services. It should be kept as a useful reference source throughout the year. Good luck with your studies! Chris Barron Departmental Administrator U/G Programmes Handbook 1 2007-08 Electronic Information The Department of Electronics makes extensive use of electronic communication methods. For this reason, it is imperative that you check your e-mail regularly, watch relevant newsgroups (see 3.6) and also pay close attention to the Departmental web pages, at: www.ee.kent.ac.uk Messages (sometimes urgent) will be communicated via these media, and responsibility for receiving them lies with you. Please note that we regard a failure to read, and where necessary respond to e-mail communications as evidence of a lack of diligence, and it can therefore be used as such within any disciplinary process that may arise. You will be given an e-mail login upon arrival at the University. Instructions on the use of e-mail, news and web browsing are available from Computing Service Reception.

  • Careers and Higher Education Guidance (December 2020)
    Tonbridge School Policies Dec 20 _________________________________________________________________________________________ CAREERS AND HIGHER EDUCATION GUIDANCE The Head of Higher Education and Careers is assisted by other members of staff who have specialist knowledge of particular careers, universities or subjects. The boys also receive considerable guidance from their Housemasters, who build up extensive experience and play a major part in shaping and directing boys’ ideas about their futures. The Higher Education and Careers Department is on the ground floor of the Smythe Library. There is a wide selection of literature on careers and all forms of higher and further education. The Tonbridge School Higher Education Guide can be found on Firefly. THIRD YEAR Although careers advice is given as boys are choosing their GCSEs, the main part of their careers and higher education advice starts in the 3rd Year. Psychometric Testing: Traditionally most boys complete the Morrisby psychometric tests and interest questionnaires early in the Michaelmas term. After computer analysis, a detailed personal report is produced, commenting on strengths, weaknesses, interests, and ambitions. Later in the Michaelmas term all those who took Morrisby Tests are interviewed individually by outside Careers Consultants and the test results are analysed and discussed. In addition to examining possible career options, Sixth Form choices are discussed to see that these would be appropriate. The full report is then sent to parents at the end of the Michaelmas term. Boys then have lifetime online access to the careers and higher education resources offered by the Morrisby Organisation. Sixth Form Choices: At the end of the Michaelmas Term of the 3rd Year, all boys and their parents receive information describing the Sixth Form subjects available and giving advice on choice of subjects and combinations.

REFORMATION 500 In October 1517, Martin Luther wrote his Ninety-Five Theses, and by tradition nailed them to the door of Wittenberg Castle Church in a provocative action which has come to symbolise the beginning of the European Reformation. On Sunday evenings this term, we will mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with a series of cantatas by J. S. Bach performed liturgically. These acts of worship will celebrate and explore the exceptional theological, cultural and spiritual legacies of the European Reformation and Counter Reformation which changed the face of the world. We are immensely privileged to welcome an extremely distinguished group of preachers. Lord Williams of Oystermouth is Master of Magdalene College. He was Archbishop of Canterbury between 2002–12, having previously been Archbishop of Wales and Bishop of Monmouth, Lady Margaret’s Professor of Divinity in Oxford, and Dean of Clare, where he is now an Honorary Fellow.

  • WILLIAMS-EXETER PROGRAMME at OXFORD UNIVERSITY Director: Professor Lucie Schmidt
    WILLIAMS-EXETER PROGRAMME AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY Director: Professor Lucie Schmidt THE PROGRAMME Williams College offers a year-long program of studies at Oxford University in co-operation with Exeter College (founded in 1314), one of the constituent colleges of the University. Williams students will be enrolled as Visiting Students at Exeter and as such will be undergraduate members of the University, eligible for access to virtually all of its facilities, libraries, and resources. As Visiting Students in Oxford, students admitted to the Programme will be fully integrated into the intellectual and social life of one of the world’s great universities. Although students on the Programme will be members of Exeter College, entitled to make full use of Exeter facilities (including the College Library), dine regularly in Hall, and join all College clubs and organizations on the same terms as other undergraduates at Exeter, students will reside in Ephraim Williams House, a compound of four buildings owned by Williams College, roughly 1.4 miles north of the city centre. Up to six students from Exeter College will normally reside in Ephraim Williams House each year, responsible for helping to integrate Williams students into the life of the College and the University. A resident director (and member of the Williams faculty) administers Ephraim Williams House, oversees the academic program, and serves as both the primary academic and personal advisor to Williams students in Oxford. Students on the Williams-Exeter Programme are required to be in residence in Oxford from Monday, 30 September 2019, until all academic work for Trinity term is complete (potentially as late as at least 27 June 2020) with two breaks for vacations between the three terms.
