[Academic] UG Projects (PH450,550) update

[Kevin Peter O'Donnell]

Dear all,

we are preparing to release the project booklet for 2014-5 next week on MyPlace. Given the record numbers of students about to enter 4th and 5th year, our current provision capability is borderline, to say the least; From previous experience, Tim and I reckon that we would require a further 10-15 titles to be able to allocate a project from their top 3 choices to most (say 90%) of the students.

The original project call was made in July. As a reminder, Plan A was for each academic to provide 3 project titles. We have not reached this target, not even on average. 

We had two Plan Bs: 

B1) Postdocs with the appropriate qualification in PhD supervision eligible to submit and supervise projects, with academic approval from their own supervisors; 
B2) Students required to "double up" on certain projects if a suitable alternative cannot be found.

This email is therefore a Final Call for new projects for 2014-5. Our current status is summarised in the attached spreadsheet. 

Please submit your Project Descriptors to Tim on the appropriate form, ideally this week or in any case before next Thursday 25 September.


Best Regards,


Kevin
