Durham, Oxford, Cambridge

The most prominent feature of these universities is the college system. The college is completely independent in property, government and internal affairs, but the university awards degrees and determines the conditions for students who can award degrees. Only when a student is admitted to a college can he become a student of his own university. For example, to apply for Cambridge University, you should choose one of the colleges of Cambridge University to apply. If you are not admitted to the college, you can't be admitted to Cambridge University and become a member of it. So only when one of the colleges accepts you can you become a Cambridge student. It is also worth noting that these colleges do not represent departments.

Until 1900, the University of London was limited to these functions, but when it exercised these functions, it influenced and coordinated other universities and colleges in London from time to time. 1858 onwards, degrees from the University of London, except medicine, can be obtained by studying in some designated learning institutions. The University of London is the first university in the UK to award degrees to women (1878). At present, University of London is not only a teaching institution, but also an auditing institution. At the same time, it has become an academic Federation. Here, it has cooperated with hospitals and non-medical colleges, such as King's College London, as well as many graduate students and some academic institutions.
