>The University of the West Indies Master's Degree in Telecommunications
>Regulation and Policy, MRP (Telecommunications), will open its virtual
>doors for a third cohort of students in August 2005. The deadline for
>applications is March 25, 2005.
>
>The MRP (Telecommunications) programme (http://mrp.uwi.tt), a
>multi-disciplinary Master's degree with an emphasis on practical
>application to national and regional development, is intended to
>strengthen the capacity of the public and private telecommunication
>sectors in areas relating to regulation and policy. It is open to
>applicants who have had at least two years relevant experience in the
>telecommunications sector and who are currently employed in the sector.
>
>Combining Web-based instruction with face to face seminars, this
>innovative programme relates the roles of the legal, economic, technical,
>planning and public policy sectors with that of the telecommunications
>industry. The comprehensive curriculum comprises eight online courses,
>three face to face seminars (two of which may be substituted by an
>additional online course), and a final research project. MRP teaching
>staff, Course Directors and Course Tutors, are prominent experts in their
>respective fields, drawn from the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, the
>United States of America, Canada and South Africa.
>
>The programme invites applications from professionals of various
>backgrounds who are involved in the development of the telecommunications
>sector in their country and their region. Through this programme, such
>professionals will benefit from practical and current knowledge in a broad
>spectrum of disciplines, which they may use to critically assess
>appropriate approaches to telecommunications regulation and to guide the
>development of telecommunications policy. It is also expected that
>participants of the programme would develop a deeper awareness of local,
>regional and global developments in the field and would bring to their
>professional posts an appreciation of the perspectives of all the main
>stakeholders in the sector: the regulator, the private sector and the state.
>
>The University of the West Indies also offers a Postgraduate Diploma in
>Telecommunications Regulation and Policy, DRP (Telecommunications). The
>DRP is available to professionals who either do not wish to complete a
>full Master's degree or are unable to attend the face to face seminars
>that are required to complete the MRP. The diploma curriculum comprises
>six of the eight MRP courses delivered over the Internet.
>
>The MRP (Telecommunications) programme was originally developed by the
>Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of The University of the
>West Indies to meet the need for capacity building in the Caribbean region
>in the area of telecommunications regulation and policy but the programme
>has already made an impact internationally. The programme has attracted
>participants from forty countries around the world, and through its online
>community is fast becoming both a regional and international academic
>focal point for the sharing of ideas and experiences in the area of
>telecommunications regulation and policy.
