 STUDENTS PROCEEDING TO THE
 UNITED KINGDOM FOR HIGHER
 EDUCATION 1952-53 SESSION.

 The pressure upon Universities and
Colleges in the United Kingdom shows
few signs as yet of relaxing and in the
Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Science
and Engineering the difficulty of ob-
taining places is still acute. Universi-
ties are, however, in general disposed
to look with a kindly eye on Colonial
candidates, provided that they can give
evidence of a high standard of potential
ability. The matriculation requirements
are considerably stiffer under the new
regulations.
 2. Both Government scholars and
private students should show that they
have attempted to take advantage of
such local University facilities for
higher education as now exist, before
submitting applications for admission
to Universities in the United Kingdom.
 3. Every effort will be made to secure
vacancies for properly sponsored and
really well qualified Colonial students.
Though in some cases, particularly in
Scotland, it may be possible to place
Students up to the end of March, 1952,
the main body of applications should be
in the hands of the Director of Colonial
Scholars not later than 31st January,
1952, if the fullest advantage is to be
taken of the places available.
 In the following categories, however,
an earlier approach is essential and ap-
plications should reach the Director of
Colonial Scholars by 30th November,
1951, at the latest:-
 (a) Courses in M-dicine, Dentistry,
 Engineering and pure Science.
 (b) Teachers'training courses (includ-
 ing Physical Training, Domestic
 Science and Frcebel or other
 kindergarten training for which
 the sponsorship of the Ministry
 of Education is required.
 (c) Applications for admission to Ox-
 ford or Cambridge Colleges.


 (d) Recommendations for awards un-
 der the 1,000,000 Colonial De-
 velopment and Welfare Scholar-
 ship Scheme.
 4. It is most undesirable that would-
 be candidates for admission should
proceed to the United Kingdom unan-
nounced and unsponsored in the hope
of obtaining admission to Universities
and Colleges. Tutorial Colleges and
Polytechnics, as well as Universities,
are overburdened with long waiting
lists of non-priority candidates and it
is almost impossible to gain admission
to such institutions without due notice
in the proper form. Students are,
therefore, strongly warned against pro-
ceeding to the United Kingdom for
higher education until they are assured
that a place has been made available
for them.
 5. It is particularly important that
students should complete their pre-
matriculation studies in their own coun-
try, unless for any reason this should
prove to be quite impossible, in which
case application should be made in the
normal way, and they should not arrive
without sponsorship and the guarantee
of a place in a suitable institution.
 6. Full details of financial and other
arrangements are obtainable on applica-
tion at Government Office and all stu-
dents who intend to proceed to the
United Kingdom are strongly urged to
consult the Administration for advice
before making their arrangements.
