PaIS are continuing a comparatively new programme in conjunction with the e-lab that should enable you to get a breakdown of your marks on-line. If you have any technical problems, please contact Daryl Kittendorf. If you have any specific concerns about your results, contact your personal tutor. However, please note that PAIS personal tutors and module directors are not responsible for disclosure of mark breakdowns to students. You will need to be signed in to the system to see your marks and should only be able to see your own record.

PAIS faculty member, Dr Trevor McCrisken, is also the Chair of the transatlantic security organisation BASIC (British American Security Information Council). Last week, Trevor was participating in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference (NPT RevCon) at the United Nations in New York.
