The College is instituted for the purpose of General Academic Education. Of the following courses of study the first and second are adapted respectively to the requirements of candidates for the Arts and Science Degrees of the University of London, and the third for those who wish to obtain the College Certificate in Engineering. A composition fee, equal to a reduction on the ordinary class fees to the amount of about one-sixth, is paid by those who enter for any one of these courses. 1.-ARTS COURSE. This course will prepare for Matriculation* at the University of London and for the degrees of B.A. and M.A. there. It is suitable for persons preparing for the learned professions, to those who contemplate offering themselves as candidates for the Civil Appointments of Her Majesty's Government, and to persons whose aims in education are general rather than specific. *Candidates for Matriculation are required to pass in any two of the three following Languages, viz.: Greek, French, and German-in addition to Latin. Those who elect to take up Greek and either French or German should enter for the first year's Arts Course, taking Chemistry and one of the Modern Languages, in which case an extra fee of £2 12s. 6d. will be payable; and those who propose to take up French and German should enter for the first year's Science Course, taking Latin and both the Modern Languages, in which case an extra fee of £2 12s. 6d. will be payable. First Year.-Greek. Latin. English Language. Chemistry Lectures,* or French or German. Composition Fee, £17. Second Year. -Greek. Latin. English Language. Modern History. Physics. French or German.

In addition to the Lecture Courses above mentioned second and third years' students in Science will be required to enter a Laboratory Course, of not less than two days per week, either in Chemistry, Physics, or Physiology. Laboratory Fees are not subject to reduction. III.-ENGINEERING COURSE. Successful attendance on this course will furnish a thorough scientific groundwork for the attainment of the knowledge requisite for the prosecution of the higher branches of the Engineering Profession, but it is not intended to supersede the practical training which can only be obtained in the office of a Civil, or the workshop of a Mechanical, Engineer. Some of the principal Mechanical Engineers of Manchester and the neighbourhood have signified their willingness to receive Certificated Engineering Students of the College into their Works, either as premium apprentices for a short term, or as ordinary apprentices without premium; and to confer upon them such privileges as they may from time to time be found qualified to avail themselves of. In addition to the subjects specified in the course students are recommended to attend, as time will allow, the following classes :-Chemistry (p. 52), Mineralogy (p. 55), and a Modern Language (pp. 58, 59). |
