British universities have royal charters, papal letters and parliamentary acts, all of which are filed in the Privy Council. The British government stipulates that only such institutions can award degrees.

British universities are independent institutions. Although their main funds are funded by the British Higher Education Grants Committee, they are not under the jurisdiction and control of any government department. They enjoy the privileges conferred by the Royal Charter or an act of Parliament, and can decide on their own the students and staff to be recruited. However, the government has begun to intervene in some aspects, such as the strict supervision of university funds by the government.
