VISITORS TO BRITAIN

The foreign student likely to come to the UK to study Iibrarianship will probably be enrolling for a postgraduate course or a Master's qualification of at least one year's duration. There will also be those (although fewer in number) who come for a three year degree or for a doctorate. A surprisingly large number — especially during recent inflationary years when sterling has declined before many firmer currencies — are privately sponsored individuals from countries where library education is well developed, and there has been a minor manifestation during the seventies of interested younger inhabitants of what used to be called the Dominions, coming to live and study in Europe and to make contact with what they can discover of their origins. Along with these have been a smaller number from the United States and the European continental countries.
