LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL: THE SLOAN MASTERS The Sloan Masters is an intensive international challenge which prepares successful managers and professionals for the most senior posts in business and industry or enables them to start their own successful new ventures. The Sloan Masters programme is: - ideal for repositioning successful mid-career managers and   professionals for the next phase of their business life - one of the three prestigious Sloan Programmes in the world - the only Sloan Programme available to self-sponsored as well as   sponsored students Origin The Sloan Masters began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1931. It was the idea of Alfred P. Sloan Jnr, Chairman of General Motors, who wanted to provide a broad development programme for successful managers. In 1966, Professor Charles Handy, himself an MIT Sloan Fellow, was appointed to establish the Sloan Programme at London Business School. Today the programme has three locations, all in world-class business schools: MIT, Stanford and London Business School.  All the programmes share the same heritage, although they operate quite independently. Objective The London Business Sloan Masters is intended to: - develop business skills, knowledge and confidence - develop strategic and functional capabilities - enhance effectiveness and internationalism of senior managers - prepare for leadership and strategic management roles It greatly enhances the effectiveness of people who are responsible for managing people, departments and organisations, as well as entrepreneurs. We build a uniquely global perspective on all aspects of management and business, through collaborative learning in an international peer group whose diversity and maturity are a key element in the philosophy of the Sloan Masters at London Business School. Scholarships The Sloan Enterprise Scholarship Building on the reputation at London Business School as a centre of excellence in entrepreneurial studies, self sponsored candidates for the Sloan Masters are encouraged to apply for one of these scholarships worth up to 50% of the tuition fees. Contact Linden Selby at lselby@london.edu for further details of these awards. The Sloan Programme office also awards one scholarships to women candidates - The Sloan Scholarship for Women with Leadership Potential This scholarship is worth L10,000 and the deadline for application to the Sloan Masters and the Scholarships is the 1st June 2001. Many Sloan Fellows are also successful in obtaining the British Council Chevening Scholarships. Further details are on the British Council website: http://www.britcoun.org/ This year the Chevening Scholarship was awarded to Sloan Fellows from Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

ECOLE DES HAUTES ETUDES EN SCIENCES SOCIALES The Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) is an important and well known institute of higher education, which is directly associated with the Ministry of Education, Research and Technology. Its mission is to undertake research and instruction in the social sciences. Also included in its mission is the investigation of the relationship between the social sciences and the natural and life sciences. To fulfill its mission as an institute of higher education, the EHESS confers first, its own degree, the EHESS diploma. Secondly, doctoral instruction follows national legislation, which prescribes that students complete the "Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies" (DEA) during their first year. This degree, which is roughly equivalent to a Masters degree, is followed by the doctoral dissertation. The EHESS also awards the title of "Director of Research", an academic title initiated by the law of 26 January 1984. The EHESS coordinates and administers the scientific research and academic instruction of all of its associated social science research groups and centers. These activities are carried out at centers located principally in Paris, but also in Marseilles, Toulouse and Lyons.

SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS Columbia University's School of International Affairs was founded in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II. It originated in dynamic regional institutes that, with an interdisciplinary vision bold for its day, drew on Columbia's renowned faculties in history, economics, political science, linguistics, and other traditional fields. The mission of the School was to foster understanding of regions of vital interest and to prepare diplomats, officials, and other professionals to meet the complexities of the postwar world. By 1950, three regional institutes were in operation--the Russian (now Harriman) Institute, the first of its kind in the United States; the East Asian Institute, and the European Institute (now the Institute on Western Europe). During the 1950s and 1960s, under the successive leadership of Schuyler C. Wallace and Andrew W. Cordier, the School expanded in scope and depth: SIA developed a national and international profile as a leading center for educational and research programs in area studies, security, and international relations. By 1967, the School was home to eight regional institutes, covering nearly every part of the globe. Faculty of these institutes provided--and continue to provide--expertise to government on all levels, the public, the media, and organizations and agencies worldwide. Regional Institutes and Centers: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sipa/viewbook/centers.html The Master of International Affairs (MIA) degree program broadened during the 1970s. New concentrations emphasized analytic and quantitative techniques and other concrete skills essential to careers in international affairs. These functional concentrations, now seven in all, encouraged the School's evolution in response to emerging areas of need and professional opportunity--from international finance to media, from human rights to environmental policy. MIA Degree Program: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sipa/viewbook/miaprogram.html In 1977, the School added a second degree, the Master of Public Administration, to meet a growing demand for skilled professionals at home as well as abroad. The MPA program stresses analytic and management skills while encouraging students' commitment to public service and understanding of the processes influencing government. In 1981, the program was renamed the Graduate Program in Public Policy and Administration and the School renamed the School of International and Public Affairs. In addition to analytic concentrations, the MPA program offers a variety of policy concentrations, from education to health to urban affairs. Those completing the program bring vision and know-how to government on all levels, to not-for-profits and nongovernmental organizations, and to the private sector as well. MPA Degree Program: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sipa/viewbook/mpaprogram.html Today, SIPA is reconfiguring for leadership in the post-Cold War era, revising its programs to mirror a globalized world in which the boundaries between international and public affairs, like the boundaries among nations, have grown less distinct. Over the past decade our faculty has expanded with the addition of first-rate SIPA-based faculty, among them practitioner-scholars who bring their years of professional experience into the classroom. We continue to strengthen links to Columbia's professional schools and academic departments and to find new ways for students and faculty to engage the enormous resources and challenges of the nation's largest and most international city. As it has for half a century, the School is evolving to provide committed students with the skills and perspectives they will need to provide responsible leadership. -------------------- Programs at SIPA: Masters in International Affairs (MIA) Masters in Public Policy and Administration (MPA) Executive Masters in Public Policy and Administration (EMPA) Program in Economic Policy Management (PEPM) Admission Guidelines: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sipa/admissions/ Financial aid: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sipa/FINAID/index.html Furter information: School of International and Public Affairs Columbia University 420 West 118th Street, Room 1408 New York, NY 10027 Phone: (212) 854-6216 Fax: (212) 864-4847 Admission's Office sipa_admission@columbia.edu Source: http://www.sipa.columbia.edu/index.html _____________________________________________________________________ 6.

UNIVERSITY OF SURREY, SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS The School's plans are designed to position its four departments, of Dance, Music, Sound Recording, and Theatre and Performance Studies, securely within the internationally recognised centre of research and postgraduate education known as the School of Performing Arts. This ambition is justified on the grounds of its innovative and distinctive undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, augmented by an interdisciplinary profile at the postgraduate level incorporating Theatre and Performance Studies. There is a shared emphasis on the use of, and research into, technology in new media as well as live performance creation and analysis. Department of Theatre and Performance Studies: Study Opportunities MA in Physical Theatre The MA Physical Theatre capitalises upon the strengths of two leading departments in dance and drama in the United Kingdom:- the University of Surrey and Royal Holloway, University of London. Taught and validated jointly by both institutions, this is an innovative programme, commencing in October 1997, which presents a rare opportunity to explore concepts of Physical Theatre within a Masters degree. The programme aims to integrate theory and practice at the cutting edge of debate as to what constitutes Physical Theatre. Students follow four main components: The Body as a Medium of Expression either Choreographing Movement or Director's Course with Exploring Content and Narrative in Choreography Dance Analysis and Criticism: an introduction to theory and practice to be followed by Body Praxis in Physical Theatre Dissertation Project The degree is designed to enhance career opportunities in dance, theatre, education and research. Potential students are invited for interview and practical audition. Videotapes of recent work should be submitted prior to interview and, in certain instances, written work will be requested. This is an exciting new venture offered by two departments which already have considerable experience and expertise in running graduate programmes. Facilities at both institutions are available to students and the programme offers ample opportunity to interrogate and embody issues of definition and discrimination within studio and seminar environments. MPhil and PhD The first M.Phil./Ph.D. students were registered with the Department in 1998. Subjects studied include: Emotion in Actor Training, Contemporary Women's Theatre, Public Spaces and the Theatricality of Culture, The Body in the Age of the Visceral, Multimedia Performance and the Staging of Gender, and Computer Games as Theatrical Worlds. Required Qualifications Applications are invited from well qualified candidates with a BA Honours degree in a relevant field and ideally also with an MA or similar qualification/level of experience in theatre practice. Applicants should have strong writing skills and verbal communication skills, and a clearly focused research proposal. Applicants will be required to submit a sample of their writing and critical thinking in the form of an essay of at least 8-10,000 words. Physical Theatre and MFA applicants are required to audition. Applications in the following fields are particularly welcomed: the theory and practice of performance, theories of acting and directing, the theory and practice of Non-Western performance, gender and performance (practice and theory), multimedia performance (practice and theory). The University of Surrey's School of Performing Arts is uniquely placed as a provider of high quality teaching and research facilities, and has a policy of accepting practical work (in live, scripted, composed, annotated, video-recorded or otherwise documented form) as part of the Ph.D. submission. Duration Full time Ph.D.: normally 3 years (min. 2 years, max. 5 years) Part-time Ph.D.: normally 5 years (min. 4 years, max. 6 years) For further information about the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies, UniS, contact: Amanda Lillie, Postgraduate Administrator, School of Performing Arts, The University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH.
