July 2009.<BR><BR>Herstmonceux Castle was presented to Queen's University by Dr.

ISC is now part of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada hosting <BR>students
from<BR>Queen's and partner universities for 1 or more semesters of residential

pedagogical-pastoral issues thus raised are intended<BR>to be at the heart of
the conference.<BR>The conference will explore all aspects of international,
liberal<BR>undergraduate education: philosophies, programmes, best practices,
<BR>academic and operational structures, histories and aspirations in a
<BR>global educational environment.<BR><BR>Planning is still in the early
