Call for PhD Project Proposals
The call for PhD project proposals for the 2007 Intake of MOAC students has gone out to departments.
The call format is different from previous years, reflecting the overall changes in connection with MOAC's recent refunding.
Colleagues wishing to submit a proposal for projects starting in October 2008 should visit the call website, which has instructions and guidelines and on which proposals can be uploaded.
Submission deadline: 1 June 2008

Gibbet Hill Road is now open once again. However, there will be further major disruption to Gibbet Hill Road between now and the summer when National Grid Transco resumes work replacing a major gas main.

MOAC student Howard Lightfoot was on Warwick's team for this year's University Challenge. They made it to the quarter finals, where they were defeated by the eventual winners, Christ Church College, Oxford. Sadly the result was not quite as successful last year, when MOAC's Prakash Patel helped Warwick win the championship, but none the less, a very credible performance from all the team. Congratulations!
