THE LIST OF VACANCIES IS FILED IN THE LIBRARY AND HAS NOT BEEN PUT

INTO THE DATABASE.

THIS is our second list of vacancies in degree and HND courses in

Scotland for entry this autumn. In co-operation with Strathclyde

Regional Council's Continuing Education Gateway, The Herald is providing

a service for prospective students who have not yet obtained a place at

a Scottish university or college.

As compiler of the list Continuing Education Gateway has the full

support of the Committee of Scottish Higher Education Principals

(COSHEP) and the respective institutions.

Listed below are the vacancies which existed at 2pm on Monday of this

week. The information will be updated weekly and appear in The Herald on

three consecutive Wednesdays starting today.

For each entry the *UCAS course code (where applicable) is given in

brackets, and applicants may consult the UCAS handbook for further

information. Further course descriptions and details of any prescribed

subjects for admission are available in the individual institution's

prospectus.

The letters after the course code show the current going rate in SCE

Highers that will be considered. (It may be permissible to substitute

appropriate CSYS grades.) Where grades are not given, please check with

the institutions direct.

Institutions also welcome applicants with comparable alternative

qualifications. Enquiries can be made to the institutions direct, using

the telephone number given in the panel: quote your personal UCAS

application number, where appropriate.

Applications should subsequently be made through UCAS or in the case

of Bell College of Technology, Glasgow College of Building and Printing

and Glasgow College of Nautical Studies, direct to the institutions

concerned. Intending applicants not already in possession of the UCAS

Clearing Entry From and instruction leaflet should obtain them without

delay, by contacting:
