The foundation of the new Department of Psychiatry in the University of Birmingham in January, 1962 was followed by the development of a post-graduate training scheme in psychiatry operating within the area administered by the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board. It was clear at the outset that the Regional psychiatric hospitals were looking to the new Department for positive help in post-graduate training and research and that its creation was accompanied by an air of expectancy. Because, judging from enquiries received, the scheme has excited some attention from outside the Region, it would seem appropriate to give an account of how it operates.

In this chapter, we describe the revision of the geology curriculum at the University of Botswana and show how it has improved the overall curriculum. One of the important outcomes of the revision was to ensure that prerequisite courses were enforced and students took courses in the proper sequence. This was hitherto not possible as students intending to take geology registered in year II which meant that to complete their degree programme in four years they took Level 100 and 200 geology courses concurrently. This system had a deleterious effect in that students found the geology curriculum very heavy and difficult on account of lack of sufficient background preparation. We believe the revision has resulted in a programme that is very competitive in the region and provides adequate preparation to our students to undertake post-graduate training in overseas and regional universities.
