The number of students at the University of Hong Kong was 985, divided between the faculties of arts, science, medicine, engineering, civil engineering, architecture and education. The teaching staff included 14 professors, 2 readers, 9 senior lec- turers, 31 lecturers, 11 assistant lecturers, 40 demonstrators and tutors and some part-time staff.

A special committee recommends students wishing to go to Britain for higher study. The Director of Colonial Scholars in London arranges their placing, and a liaison officer is responsible for their general welfare. Although students are making increasing use of these facilities, there are still many who make their own arrangements. The following table shows the distribution of students by the courses they follow and the country in which they are studying.
