List of universities in England

As of August 2008, there were ninety-one universities in England,[1] out of a total of 109 in the United Kingdom. This excludes approximately 133 higher education institutions that have not been given the right to call themselves a "university" by the Privy Council (such as colleges of higher education). The number of universities has since increased.

The following is a list of all English universities and university colleges currently recognised by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, together with the date on which they were created.[2]

Universities

Where two dates are listed below the first gives the year the institution became a University while the second gives the year the institution was established in another form (for example if it was previously a College or a Central Institution). See also List of UK universities by date of foundation.

'Tuition Fee' refers to the annual tuition fee announced for Home/EU students studying full time undergraduate degree courses starting in 2012. The maximum equivalent fee for courses that started before 2012 is £3,375.
