This includes private universities but does not include other Higher Education Institutions[Note 1] that have not been given the right to call themselves "university" or "university college" by the Privy Council or Companies House (e.g. colleges of higher education), or member institutions of the University of London at that time.
[1] 'Established' refers to the date when an institution was initially established as a university.
If only a dash and a year in parentheses is given, the institution is either a university college or a member institution of the University of London that does not hold university status, and the date in parentheses refers to the year of its establishment.
[3] HESA statistics do not cover other private universities or private university colleges; student numbers for such institutions (where given) are referenced in the table.
[4] 'p/g only' means the university was listed by the Higher Education Funding Council of England (HEFCE) as providing postgraduate courses only, so has no undergraduate tuition fees.
