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:
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
