Henry Smith, vice-provost at the University of the Virgin Islands, is in Malta to discuss the drawing up of a catalogue of study units for a Master's degree in islands and small states studies.

As the University of Malta forms part of the University Consortium of Small Island States, one of the objectives of the consortium is to offer a Masters in such studies.

The consortium aims at improving information flows among members on course offerings, facilities, student needs and relevant documents and encouraging cooperative curriculum development, research, knowledge management and outreach in the key areas of vulnerability for small island developing states to support resilience building. It also aims at using the results of research on small island states and field projects to assemble curricula relevant to island development.
