cause of fact it isnt good enough to get 5 *s only 4, its not going to offer the course to new applicants despite fact there were 5 applicants for one place
much like kings college and queen marys here in london too
exter are goint to replace it with forensic science, which in reality has less job prospects as the course isnt actually detailed enough to be a forensic scientist, they want chemistry students
markets in education, this is what you get:rolleyes:

Durham is in the process of trying to shut down its politics department because it only has 4 stars for research. Which is understandable, given the bturmoil in the department over the last few years: the best researchers won't take jobs there because the VC, Sir Kenneth Cuntman (he who caused the BSE crisis) is trying to shut it.
And it's disgraceful, even our late Chancellor Sir Peter Ustonov has had run-ins with the VC, which shows how bad its got as the Chancellor is merely ceremonial.

he discovered bucky balls or carbon -60 molecules which hold futurre for nano-technology
It's disgusting they are shutting down some good departments because of money. Money that has been wasted on other things. New accomidation that it can be argued wasnt actually needed that much probably cost a few million.
and i bet theyll expand their social science dept.s even if theres enough people studying it to do enough research for a generation plus more
Maybe...who knows.
I do a social science
Feels like an excuse to reduce funding to areas that require extensive resourcing more than anything else, though closing politics seems bizarre, I mean how much does a few pipe smokers and an eastern european dissident really cost? (sorry, just kidding - based on my uni experience)
:mad:
Apparantly its ok to go against the will of the students. Twats.

basically people think "ill leave it to someone else to worry about"
and economically its dodgy since we need a highly educated specialised workforce really otherwise drugs and chemical and oil companies will move to other countries
It is even though Italian is apparantly the 7th best in the country.
