I have in mind* a University ** modelled on Circle structures: a 4-year course (representing 4 (2x2) circles moving inwards towards the centre, each year involving 8 major subjects plus any number of options according to individual preference; *** a non-rigorous, non-hierarchical recognition scheme, perhaps even offsetting depth (specialisation) in a flexible (individually-based) way; perhaps recognising even each completed year as an achievement**** in itself (as the first year would be the most practical – and it would also assist with financing the student – or graduate – later).

[The ms diagram reproduced above is probably too complex to be satisfactorily represented by a table; & the use of pencil suggests particularly speculative & transient work.]

There would be an entry level, but pre-first[-]year short courses would be available to remedy omissions.

There would be (at least) annual opportunities for post-graduate development for graduates in full-time jobs outside the University.

*{(he said grandly)}

**Such as Llan[....]

***Not the first to try new educational ideas!

****And I’m still not certain how to spell achievement!
