British universities have their own peculiarities: all of them but one, receive the State financing and have significantly higher fees, usually students have only a major specialty without a minor one and almost all students attend establishments far away from their native towns, so universities provide students with accommodation.

British universities have their own characteristics: all but one of them receive state funding and have significantly higher fees, students usually have only a major without minor ones and almost all students attend universities far from their hometown, so universities provide students with accommodation.

There are several types of universities in Great Britain. The first type is the ancient ones. All of them were founded between and are very reputable. The top place of them is divided between two well-known universities: Oxford and Cambridge, both known as Oxbridge. Though they have rivalry, there is also a great cooperation between them. A lot of elite people are the graduates of these universities, though they have differences in educational process. Each of them is divided into more than thirty colleges. Colleges at Oxford suggest only those subjects for the students that depend on the field of their study, but Cambridge colleges give a chance to choose the subjects from the list according to your preferences. Oxford University was founded in 1096 and now more than 20,000 students attend it. It offers a broad array of courses, cooperates with numerous organizations, but a degree there will cost you a pretty penny. Cambridge University is also known as the biggest public research center and was founded in 1209 by scholars, who had escaped to Cambridge from Oxford. There are more than 18,000 students there and some of the colleges admit only women. Students attend not only group teaching sessions, but also have supervisions. Each of the graduates remains a member of the college forever.

There are over 18,000 students and some colleges only accept women. Students attend not only group classes, but also have personal communication with the teacher. Each of the graduates remains a member of the college forever.

The second type of the universities is red brick ones. They got their name because of the material they are built with and are located in Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. They were established during Queen Victoria's reign and before World War II. They differ from the ancient ones because of being non-collegiate and they have taught only locals. They used to admit only men and focus only on “practical subjects”. Red Brick Universities were started as preparatory courses, but nowadays they award with their own degrees.

The second type of higher education institution is the red brick higher education institution. They got their name from the material they are built from and are found in Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. They were created during the reign of Queen Victoria and before the Second World War. They differ from the ancient ones because they are not cathedrals, and teaching was conducted only for local residents. They allowed only men to teach and only focus on "practical subjects". Red brick universities were founded as preparatory courses, but today they award their diplomas.

New universities are subdivided into two types: the campus and the newer civic ones. They appeared after the Robins Report and the ones founded are considered "Plate Glass Universities". The Campus Universities are located in the countryside, have enough accommodation for international students, provide teaching in small groups and put an emphasis on relatively new disciplines. The New Civic Universities used to be technical colleges and . Gradually they were given the right to award with the degree. They are known as “polytechnics” and suggest “sandwich” courses ( outside the establishment).

New universities are divided into two types: those located on campus and new civilian ones. They came into existence after the Robbins Report, and those founded in the 1960s are considered "Glass Slab Universities". Campus universities are located in countryside, have adequate housing for international students, offer small group instruction, and focus on relatively new disciplines. The new civilian universities used to be technical schools and are called Universities After 1992. Gradually they gained the right to award degrees. They are known as "polytechnics" and offer "sandwich" courses (opportunity to study outside the institution).

The last type of the universities is called the Open University. It centers on a distant learning. In 2005 there were more than 180,000 students and it became the largest institution of the UK higher education. The administration of it is based in Buckinghamshire and it has 13 regional offices all over the country. The students of this university get information on TV, radio, in the course-books or the Internet. The students have tutors, who check their works and discuss them. In summer they have short residential courses according to the field of study.

There are 44 universities (not counting the Open University) in Britain. Although the Goverment is responsible for providing about 80 per cent of universities income it does not control their work or teaching nor does it have direct dealings with the universities.The grants are distributed by the Secretary of State for Education and Science.

The English universities are: Aston (Birmingham), Bath, Birmingham, Bradford Bristol, Brunel (London), Cambridge, City (London), Durham, East Anglia ,Essex, Exeter, Hull, Keele, Kent at Centerbury, Lancaster, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading, Saford, Sheffield, Southhampton, Surrey, Sussex, Warwick and York. The federated University of Wales includes five university colleges, the Welsh National School of Medicine, and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology.The Scottish universities are: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt (Edinburgh), St. Andrews, Stirling, and Strathclyde (Glasgow). In Northen Ireland there is Queen's University, Belfast, and the New University of Ulster in Coleraine.

The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge date from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the Scottish Universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. All the other universities were founded in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries.

There are five other institutions where the work is of university standard: the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology ; the two post-graduate business schools which are supported jointly by industry and the Government - the Manchester Business School and the London Graduate School of Business Studies, associated with the London School of Economics and the Imperial College of Science and Technology ; Cranfield Institute of Technology for mainly post-graduate work in aeronautics and other subjects; and the Royal College of Art.

My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions - and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the Past, the Present and even the Future. It "s easy to see both how the past has molded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this University town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University begins, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. of Society - the word "University", like the word "College", meant originally a society of people with a common employment; it was only later it came to be associated with scholarship.

These students were all churchmen and had been studying in Oxford at that city's well-known schools. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant trouble between the townsfolk and the students. Then one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor arrested three other students, who were innocent, and by order of King John (who was quarrelling with the Church and knew that the death of three clergymen would annoy it) they were put to death by hanging. In protest, all the students moved elsewhere, some coming to Cambridge; and so the new University began.

There took place a new quarrel with the townsfolk, for the University was anxious to be independent of the Town, and the Town was equally anxious for authority over the new student population. "Town" and "Gown" battles were frequent.

The boarding-houses and shopkeepers cheated the students, who very soon organized themselves under an elected leader called a Chancellor, and he fixed prices that should be paid. Gradually the University gained control.

Side by side with the fight for freedom from Town rule was another for liberty from Church rule, until by 1500 the University was its own master at last. Of course there were no Colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from every - where. Those from the same part of the country tended to group together and these groups called "Nations" still exist, by the way, at some European Universities.

The students were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually, the idea of ​​the College developed and in 1284 Peterhouse the oldest College in Cambridge, was founded.

Life in College was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance.
