NOTE.

THE attention of students in India and in the British Colonies who are intending to proceed to Aberdeen in order to complete their curriculum and graduate in Medicine, is especially directed to the importance of completing a Preliminary Examination which is recognised by the University, before leaving their own countries. If they are thus exempted they are able without loss of time to proceed to their medical studies. The Medical Preliminary Examination comprises four subjects: (1) English, (2) Latin, (3) Mathematics, (4) an additional language, such as Greek, French, German, etc.

It is permitted 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". These are the only alternatives permitted to the usual subjects of examination. A Preliminary Examination having the indicated scope passed by Indian or Colonial students entitling them to proceed to graduation in Medicine at a University or College empowered to confer degrees in their home country is recognised for the same purpose by the Scottish Universities.

It is advisable that students who have passed a Preliminary Examination and possibly also an Examination in certain subjects embraced in the medical curriculum should communicate with the Secretary of the University of Aberdeen some months before leaving home, in order that they may receive definite information as to the exemptions to which they will be entitled on entering the University.
