Description
It's a new academic year at The Defence University of Technology and Management located in rural Oxfordshire. The Provost, Professor James Nightingale is determined to advance his career and is busy promoting his case to head the UK's Funding Council. The head of the Civil and Military Engineering Department, Professor Frank Hargreaves, is hoping to succeed Nightingale.
