As for any cut-backs in facilities/numbers etc the best people to ask would probably be the staff & students already at the department. Hi Garry,

Can’t say I’ve been keeping up with the story to be honest (I’m just starting my Part II at Newcastle, so Cambridge is really on my radar anymore), however, I’d guess that if the school did close that it would be a phased closure where they’d just stop taking new students but keep on any students who were mid-course as I’m fairly sure that’s what they did with their Part II.

As for any cut-backs in facilities/numbers etc the best people to ask would probably be the staff & students already at the department.

I\'m looking at it for 2007 entry: will it last for the 3 years of a Part 1. They say the annual intake is 40: is this down from previous capacity? Are they winding it down? Have student facilities been cut back? Or; does anyone know of another blog or forum that covers this. I hope this isn\'t too personal.

Let\’s face it, Cambridge University literally owns most of Cambridge town centre, so we all know their affinity for phat wads of cash. Their \”high research standards\” almost certainly boil down to a figue with a £ sign in front of it.
