Higher Education in Great Britain and Treland. Higher education is provided in Great Britain and Ireland by universities and detached colleges, and professional education by special schools of medicine attached to the principal hospitals, and by schools of law and theology. During the last few years there has been a number of changes in methods pursued by the larger universities, especially in the way of offering new degrees. In 1891 the University of Oxford instituted the degrees of Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science, which were intended to promote and recognize the value of study and research. The requirements for these degrees are a course of special study or research and a residence of two years. Recently, as a result of this move, a doctorate in letters and in science was created. Cambridge has also made plans for the admission of persons as advanced students, the degree of B. A. being obtainable by those who have shown a residence of six terms and have obeyed the regulations as to examinations. The University of London, which was sanctioned in 1900, embraces the following schools: University College and Kings College, ten medical schools and six theological colleges, the Royal College of Science, the Southeastern Agricultural College, the City and Guilds' Institute, the London College of Economics, the Royal Holloway College and Bedford College. The senate of the University is empowered to add to these any public institution, within prescribed limits. A faculty of law is in the process of being organized. Victoria University now accepts a certificate from many secondary schools in Lancashire and Yorkshire in lieu of matriculation tests.
