Teaching at the UvA’s Communication Science department is organized under the College of Communication for undergraduate education, and theGraduate School of Communication for graduate programs. The Graduate School offers several master’s programs in both Dutch and English language—including the Erasmus Mundus specialism “Media and Politics”—as well as a PhD programme.

The faculty of the Communication Department is also directly involved in the Department’s research institute, the School of Communication Research(ASCoR). ASCoR is the largest institute for communication science research in Europe and one of the largest in the world. The latest research assessment by the Quality Assurance Netherlands Universities (for 2001-2007) evaluated ASCOR as ‘Excellent’ (5 on a 5-point scale).papers in particular.

University of California, Los Angeles

A Brief History of UCLA University of California, Los Angeles With only 11,000 inhabitants in 1880, the pueblo of Los Angeles convinced the state government to establish a State Normal School in Southern California. Enthusiastic citizens contributed between $2 and $500 to purchase a site, and on August 29, 1882, the Los Angeles Branch of the State Normal School welcomed its first students in a Victorian building that had been erected on the site of an orange grove. By 1914 Los Angeles had grown to a city of 350,000, and the school moved to new quarters?a Hollywood ranch off a dirt road that later became Vermont Avenue. In 1919, the school became the Southern Branch of the University of California and offered two years of instruction in Letters and Science. Third- and fourth-year courses were soon added; the first class of 300 students was graduated in 1925, and by 1927 the Southern Branch had earned its new name: University of California at Los Angeles. (The name was changed again in 1958 to University of California, Los Angeles.) Continued growth mandated the selection of a site that could support a larger campus, and in 1927, ground was broken in the chaparral-covered.

Missouri Southern University

Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology

The Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology is granted to students who satisfactorily complete the required program of study.

Passing a certification examination at the end of the clinical study is required.

Missouri Southern has affiliation agreements with the:

Baptist Health School of Medical Technology, Little Rock, Arkansas

CoxHealth School of Medical Technology, Springfield, Missouri

Mercy Joplin School of Medical Lab Science, Joplin, Missouri

North Kansas City Hospital’s School of Clinical Laboratory Science, North Kansas City, Missouri

If a student wishes to attend an accredited school of medical technology with which the University has no formal agreement, the Vice President for Academic Affairs can negotiate an agreement for the individual student. Students should be aware that enrollment in professional schools is limited. Each of the professional schools has its own admission criteria and selects those students to be admitted to a class from the applicants for that class. In general, this selection is based on the academic record or demonstrated aptitude for the medical field. Students are responsible for filing their own application for admission with the professional schools. Application should be made to the professional school during the early fall of the Junior Year or approximately 10 months prior to the expected entrance date. It is strongly suggested that the student contact the Director of the Medical Technology Program at the desired hospital early in their Sophomore Year to determine the exact application procedure.

A student may enroll in the professional courses either at the hospital-based school or through Missouri Southern, depending on the policies of the hospital-based school. Students enrolled at the hospital-based school are not considered members of the Missouri Southern student body, since the hospital-based school in such cases is considered as any other accredited institution of higher education. A student enrolling through Missouri Southern is considered a member of the University student body and is therefore eligible for benefits offered all students. The weekly time requirements for the professional medical technology courses (400 level) listed are based on the minimum requirements for a course meeting for a normal academic term for a minimum of 16 weeks. Actual scheduling of classes may vary according to custom of the individual professional school to meet these minimum total hour requirements.

Students whose career goals change or are unsuccessful in gaining admission to a professional training program are ideally suited to switch to and complete another science major (such as a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry) with virtually no loss of academic credits.

Hong Kong University

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is a public research university in Clear Water Bay Peninsula, Sai Kung District, Hong Kong. Established in 1991, it is the territory's youngest higher learning institution with no precursory existence.

The university consists of four disciplinary schools, which offer degrees in business and management, engineering, science, and humanities and social science, alongside the Interdisciplinary Programs Office, which provides cross-disciplinary programs, and Fok Ying Tung Graduate School/Fok Ying Tung Research Institute, which promotes technology transfer and commercialisation. HKUST has been continuously viewed as one of the top three higher education institutions in Hong Kong

History

Established in 1991 under Chapter 1141 of the Laws of Hong Kong , HKUST is one of the eight statutory universities in Hong Kong.

In the late 1980s the Hong Kong Government anticipated a strong demand for university graduates to fuel an economy increasingly based on services. Sir Chung Sze Yuen and the then Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Edward Youde, conceived the idea of another university in addition to the pre-existing two universities .

Planning for the "Third University", named The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology later, began in 1986. Construction began at the Kohima Camp site in Tai Po Tsai on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula. The site was earmarked for the construction of a new British Army garrison, but plans for the construction of the garrison were shelved after the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984.

Originally scheduled to finish in 1994, the death of Sir Edward in 1986 led to increased effort and allowed UST to open its doors early – in 1991. Several leading scientists and researchers took up positions at the new university in its early years, including physicist Leroy Chang who arrived in 1993 as Dean of Science and went on to become Vice-President for Academic Affairs. Thomas E. Stelson was also a founding member of the administration.

The project was criticised for surpassing the budget set forth by the Hong Kong Government and the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. However, under the fund-raising efforts of its President, Woo Chia-wei, the first students enrolled in October 1991. By 1992, accommodation and athletic facilities were expanded to support about 7,000 students.

Several more expansion projects such as the construction of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Enterprise Centre have since been completed. The library extension building, Lee Shau Kee Business Building , Lo Ka Chung Building South Bus Station and Undergraduate Halls VIII and IX, Cheng Yu Tung Building and the Conference Lodge , are the latest additions to the campus.

Campus

The university is situated at the northern part of Clear Water Bay Peninsula in Sai Kung District, New Territories, Hong Kong, occupying a 60-hectare site overlooking Port Shelter in Tai Po Tsai. In addition to the academic complexes, the campus also boasts student halls of residence, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, the University Center, staff quarters and the President's Lodge, making use of the sloped terrain to divide the campus for different uses.

Academic Building

The Academic Building contains 10 lecture theatres , a multitude of classrooms, laboratories and administrative offices, as well as ancillary facilities such as canteens, banks, a bookstore and a supermarket. The lecture theatres can accommodate classes of up to 450 students and offer audiovisual equipment. In addition, an information center and a souvenir shop can be found at the Piazza.

Lee Shau Kee Business Building , completed in 2013 and named after entrepreneur Lee Shau Kee, houses offices and classrooms of the School of Business and Management . Before LSK went into operation, offices and classrooms used by all of the 4 schools were grouped under the same roof in the Academic Building.

The latest addition to the campus is the Cheng Yu Tung Building , which mainly consist of classrooms and laboratories, completed in 2015.
