The Faculty of Engineering provides a four-year course in practical and theoretical engineering, leading to the degree of B.Sc.(Eng). Fourth-year students specialize in civil, in mechanical or in electrical engineering. The degree for post-graduate work is that of M.Sc.(Eng).
The Faculty of Arts includes departments of pure Arts and Science, Education (including practical teaching) and Commerce. The course is in all cases one of four years and leads to the degree of B.A. The degree for post-graduate work is that of M.A.
With a view to better securing the maintenance of the desired standard—which in the Faculty of Medicine is that of an English University degree and in the Faculty of Engineering that of the corresponding degree in the University of London—external examiners are, in all Faculties, associated with the internal examiners in all annual and final examinations. In the Faculty of Engineering, but not in other Faculties, degrees with honours are granted, the standard being assessed by special examiners chosen from amongst the external examiners in the University of London.
The degree of LL.D. is also granted, honoris causa.
The site of the University was given gratuitously by the Colonial Government. As subsequently enlarged by minor grants and by purchase, it includes an area of some 25 acres, looking out upon the harbour over the City of Victoria.
The main buildings, as already stated, were the gift of the late Sir H. Mody. In them are housed the Chemical, Physical and Biological Laboratories, the University Library and portions of the Engineering Laboratories. They further include a Great Hall, a Senate Room and the Lecture and Class rooms used by the Faculty of Arts and for general purposes.
Special medical buildings include schools of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Tropical Medicine, erected at the cost of Chinese gentlemen resident in the Colony. In the case of each of the three schools last mentioned a larger or smaller sum still remains available for further equipment.
Special engineering buildings include:
(a) a Power Station, generating light and power for the estate, energy being supplied by internal combustion engines of varied types which are available for instructional purposes;
(b) a Prime Movers (steam) and Hydraulics Laboratory, at present housed in a converted Pumping Station, formerly the property of the Government; and
(c) a Workshop, including a small machine-shop, smithy and carpenter's shop.
