Malaysia-Imperial Doctoral Programme (MIDP)
The MIDP is a link-up between Imperial College London, the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and five Malaysian universities, Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
The MIDP fosters academic and research links between Imperial and Malaysia. MIDP PhD students are enrolled as joint-PhD students at Imperial College London, with their research supervised by an Imperial College London academic. The supervisor is supported by a co-supervisor at the host university in Malaysia, and the student spends time at both institutions. There is also support for both supervisor to visit the other campus.
The first cohort of MIDP students enrolled at Imperial College London in spring 2007, and are studying in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Division of Investigative Science (Medicine) and the Division of Surgery, Oncology, Reproductive Biology and Anaesthetics (Medicine).

Famous quotes containing the word programme:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
