  • Masters Degrees in computing
    Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2009
    Co-Authors: Lillian N Cassel, Gordon Davies, Stephen B Seidman
    Abstract:

    The ACM Education Board, the Education Activities Board of the IEEE Computer Society, representatives of the Association for Information Systems and the British Computer Society have joined forces to investigate the state of Masters degree programs in computing. This joint effort intends to document the variety and common features of programs throughout the United States and Europe. This poster is a status report on that project and an opportunity for interested individuals to add information about their programs to this work.

  • the return to a university education in great britain
    National Institute Economic Review, 2005
    Co-Authors: Nigel C Oleary, Peter J Sloane
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we estimate the rate of return to first Degrees, Masters Degrees and PhDs in Britain using data from the Labour Force Survey. We estimate returns to broad subject groups and more narrowly defined disciplines, distinguishing returns by gender and controlling for variations in student quality across disciplines. The results reveal considerable heterogeneity in returns to particular degree programmes and by gender, which have important policy implications for charging students for the costs of their education.

  • the return to a university education in great britain
    Social Science Research Network, 2004
    Co-Authors: Peter J Sloane, Nigel C Oleary
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we estimate the rate of return to first Degrees, Masters Degrees and PhDs in Britain using data from the Labour Force Survey. We estimate returns to broad subject groups and more narrowly defined disciplines, distinguishing returns by gender and attempting to control for variations in student quality across disciplines. The results reveal considerable heterogeneity in returns to particular degree programmes and by gender, which have important policy implications for charging students for the costs of their education.

  • public health training in europe development of european Masters Degrees in public health
    European Journal of Public Health, 2001
    Co-Authors: Franco Cavallo, Arja Rimpela, Charles Normand, Jacques Bury
    Abstract:

    Background: Changing political and economic relations in Europe mean that there are new challenges for public health and public health training. There have been several attempts to develop training at the master's level in public health which is focused on meeting the new needs. These have failed due to being too inflexible to allow participation by schools of public health. Methods: A project funded by the European Union invoking public health trainers has developed a new approach which allows participating schools to retain their national differences and work within local rules and traditions, but which aims to introduce the European dimension into public health training. This paper reports the conclusions of this project. Conclusions: A network of schools wishing to develop European Master's Degrees is being established and other schools offering good quality programmes will be able to join.

  • coursework Masters Degrees and quality assurance implicit and explicit factors at programme level
    Quality in Higher Education, 1997
    Co-Authors: Richard James, Craig Mcinnis
    Abstract:

    Abstract The contemporary Australian postgraduate context is an elaborate setting in which to consider the nature of quality assurance in higher education. The Masters degree, in particular, has been marked over the past decade by rapid growth in student numbers, the gradual dominance of coursework delivery, and diversity in course goals and structure. Through case study research of ten coursework Masters programmes an attempt was made to identify the individual factors that are contributors to course quality. The policies and activities that academic staff associate with course quality and quality assurance are reported and analysed. A dividing line can be drawn between explicit institutional quality assurance, as formulated in policy, and the implicit perceptions and actions of staff. It is argued that the design of effective quality assurance at programme level requires a better appreciation and accommodation of both.

  • curriculum update from the acm education board cs2008 and a report on Masters Degrees
    Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2008
    Co-Authors: Lillian N Cassel, Art Pyster, Michael E Caspersen, Gordon Davies, Renee Mccauley, Andrew Mcgettrick, Robert H Sloan
    Abstract:

    In this special session, members of the ACM Education Board will give information about two current projects in computer science curriculum developments: an update to the CS2001 volume, CS2008, and a new venture, a report on Masters Degrees in Computing. Feedback is required on both reports as the CS2008 volume is an interim measure in advance of a more thorough review in due course. The Masters report will be a report on work-in-progress and feedback on the current progress and the project goals will be welcome.
