British Universities

1. There is no single, universally accepted definition of what a university is. British universities are different.

2. In 1960 there were only 90 British universities. Today there are 90. They can be roughly divided into the following groups:

3. Oxford and Cambridge: These ancient universities date back to the early thirteenth century. Since that time Oxford and Cambridge have continued to grow, but until the nineteenth century they were the only universities in England, and they offered no place to girls.

4. Four universities were founded in Scotland before Scotland and England were united: St. Andrews (1411), Glasgow (1450), Aberdeen (1494), and Edinburgh (1583).

5. The Redbrick Universities: This group includes all universities that was founded between 1850 and 1930 including London university. They were called "redbrick" because that was the favourite building material of that time, but they are rarely referred to as "Redbrick" today.

6. The New Universities: These were all founded after the Second World War. Some of them quickly became popular because of their modern approach to university courses.

7. In 1922 the majority of British polytechnics, that offered a wide range of subjects and many had close links with industry and commerce in their local area, were also incorporated into universities. So at present there are four different types of universities in Great Britain.

8. The typical academic programme for university students in Great Britain is composed of a varying number of courses or subjects within a field of specialization.

9. The academic activities for each subject fall into three types: lectures, at which attendance is not always compulsory, tutorials and examinations. These three categories provide the means by which students prepare themselves in specialized fields of knowledge.

10. However, universities have no monopoly on higher learning. In Britain, full-time higher education also takes place outside the universities.
