Fourth (Final) Professional Examination in Surgery, Medicine, Midwifery and Special Subjects.

*Hour to be arranged.

MATRICULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES.

At the beginning both of the Winter and of the Summer Sessions every Student must fill up and return a Schedule to be obtained from the Sacrist, Marischal College, stating what Classes he intends to take out.

The Matriculation of Students and payment of Fees take place on stated days (posted on the Notice Boards of the University) at the commencement of each Session. No student is permitted to enter at a later date except on payment of a late entry fee of 5s. The Graduation Fees are payable prior to each Examination, on dates of which due notice is given. The Hospital and Dispensary Fees are payable to the Treasurers of the respective Institutions.

Fees may be remitted direct by Parents or Guardians, by Bank Order or crossed cheque, to the Secretary of the Medical Faculty. The cost of Matriculation, Class, and Hospital Fees for the whole curriculum, inclusive of the Fees for the Degrees is usually about £160.

Registration of Medical Students by the General Medical Council.

By the Regulations of the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom, a body altogether distinct from the University, the name of every Medical Student must, immediately on his beginning his medical studies, have been entered on the Official Register of Medical Students kept by the Council. Registration is, therefore, imperative at the commencement of the Medical Curriculum. No person can be registered as a medical student, who has not attained the age of sixteen years.

Students should note that this Registration in the books of the Medical Council is quite distinct from Matriculation or other Regi·stration of students in the books of the University.

The Council holds no Examination of its own, but accepts the ordinary Preliminary Examination of this University, and of a large number of other Examining Boards in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Registration must be effected within 15 days after commencing Medical study in the University.

The SECRETARY OF THE MEDICAL FACULTY will give all information and supply the necessary forms of application for Regis

tration on a stated day shortly after the commencement of each Session. Applicants must lodge certificates of their birth. But a Student can himself obtain his Registration by communicating with the REGISTRAR OF THE BRANCH COUNCIL FOR SCOTLAND, 54 George Square, Edinburgh. No fee is payable for Registration.

REGULATIONS FOR DEGREES IN MEDICINE.

[This Ordinance for the Regulation of Degrees in Medicine and Surgery came into force on 1st October, 1911.]

ORDINANCE of the UNIVERSITY COURT of the UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN No. 4 [Regulation, for Degrees in Medicine].

At Aberdeen, the thirteenth day of December, Nineteen hundred and ten years.

Whereas by Section 21 of the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, it is enacted that after the expiration of the powers of the Commissioners under the said Act the University Court of each University shall have power to make such Ordinances as they think fit with the approval of His Majesty in Council, inter alia altering or revoking any of the Ordinances affecting such University which had been or might be framed and passed under the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1858, or the said recited Act itself, and making new Ordinances.

And whereas on the 3rd day of February, 1892, the said Commissioners issued an Ordinance No. 15 [Aberdeen, No. 1.-Regulations for Degrees in Medicine], which received the approval of Her late Majesty in Council on the 5th day of August, 1892; and on the 5th day of June, 1893, an Ordinance No. 31 [Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, No. 1.-Composition of the Faculties and Institution of Faculties of Science], which received the approval of Her late Majesty in Council on the 23rd day of November, 1893; and on the 18th day of November, 1893, an Ordinance No. 42 [General No. 14.-Institution of Boards of studies in the Faculties of Medicine and Science], which received the approval of Her late Majesty in Council on the 28th day of May, 1894; and on the 18th day of July, 1894, an Ordinance No. 55 [Aberdeen No. 9.-Regulations for Degrees in Medicine, Supplementary to Ordinance No. 15], which received the approval of Her late Majesty in Council on the 11th day of May, 1895; and on the 22nd day of January, 1897, an Ordinance No. 156 [Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh No. 3.-Regulations for Degrees in Medicine, Supplementary to Ordinances Nos. 14, 15, and 16] which received the approval of Her late Majesty in Council on the 18th day of May, 1897 :

And whereas the powers conferred on the said Commissioners had expired:

And whereas the University Court of the University of Aberdeen has resolved that it is expedient that the provisions of the said Ordinances in so far as they affect the University of Aberdeen should be altered or revoked, and that the provisions hereinafter set forth should be substituted therefor:

And whereas parts of certain Ordinances for Bursaries, Higher Degrees in Arts and Science, for Examinations, and for Boards of Studies, make references directly or indirectly to the aforementioned Ordinances, and it is expedient that these references should be made to apply to the provisions of this Ordinance as hereinafter set forth:

Therefore the University Court of the University of Aberdeen hereby statutes and ordains with reference to the Regulations for Degrees in Medicine of the University of Aberdeen as follows:

DEGREES AND DIPLOMAS IN MEDICINE AND SURGERY.

I. Four Degrees in Medicine and Surgery shall be conferred by the University of Aberdeen, namely, Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.), Bachelor of Surgery (Ch.B.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D), and Master of Surgery (Ch.M). The Degree of Bachelor of Surgery shall not be conferred on any person who does not at the same time obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine shall not be conferred on any person who does not at the same time obtain the Degree of Bachelor of Surgery.

II. Subject to Regulations to be made from time to time by the Senatus, with the approval of the University Court, the University may confer * Diplomas in Special Branches of Medical and Surgical Practice on graduates in Medicine and Surgery of the University of Aberdeen, and also on other legally qualified medical practitioners who shall have pursued the prescribed course of study in the University.

ACADEMICAL YEAR.

III. The academical year shall commence on the first day of October. In each academical year there shall be three nearly equal terms, including not less than thirty teaching weeks. Two such terms shall for the purpose of reckoning the duration of Medical study be deemed the equivalent of one winter session, and one such term shall be deemed the equivalent of one summer session. The days on which courses of instruction shall open and close in each term shall be determined by the Senatus, with the approval of the University Court.

* For Regulations for the Diploma in Public Health, vide infra.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.

N.B.-By Ordinance of the University Courts of the four Scottish Universities, which came into force on 31st December, 1918, the existing Regulations relative to the Preliminary Examination are revoked. A Scottish Universities Entrance Board, of sixteen members, is constituted, whose duty will be to issue General and Special Regulations for the admission of applicants to the Scottish Universities. The arrangements specified below are therefore subject to alteration. N.B. From and after 1st January, 1921, the Scottish Universities Entrance Board propose that the Certificates to be accepted as admitting to a Medical course shall be the same as those admitting to an Arts or a Science course.

IV. Before commencing his course of Medical study, each student shall pass a Preliminary Examination in (1) English, (2) Latin, (3) Mathematics, and (4) an Additional Language, namely, Greek, French, German, Italian, or such other language as the Senatus may approve: Provided always that, in the case of a student whose native language is other than English, an Examination in any other classical language, for example, Sanskrit or Arabic, may be substituted for an examination in Latin, and an examination in the native language of the student may be substituted for an examination in the Additional Language.

V. The extent and standard of the Preliminary Examination shall be determined by the Joint-Board of Examiners constituted under Ordinance of the said Commissioners No. 13, General No. 8 [Regulations as to Examinations] in accordance with the terms of that Ordinance.

VI. The preliminary Examination shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the said Ordinance No. 13, General No. 8 [Regulations as to Examinations]; and subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding Section hereof, a student shall be obliged to pass in all the required subjects at one or not more than two examinations; provided that he may offer himself for re-examination as often as may be necessary to satisfy this condition.

VII. A Degree in Arts or in Science (not being a Degree honoris causâ tantum) in any of the Universities of the United Kingdom, or in any Indian, Colonial, or Foreign University specially recognised for the purpose by the University Court, shall exempt from the Preliminary Examination; and the JointBoard of Examiners appointed under the provisions of Ordinance No. 13, General No. 8 [Regulations as to Examinations] shall have power to determine what examinations, other than those for the degrees herein before mentioned, shall be accepted either in whole or in part, in place of the Preliminary Examination.
