1 statistics only about one third of school leavers receive post-school education in the UK, compared with over 80% in Germany, France, the US and Japan. Once admitted 2 a university fifteen per cent of British students fail to complete their degree course. Nowadays there are about sixty universities in Britain, compared with only seventeen in 1945. They fall 3 four broad categories: the ancient English foundations, the ancient Scottish ones, the «redbrick» universities, and the «plate-glass» ones. They are all private institutions, receiving direct grants from central government.

Oxford and Cambridge (now called as Oxbridge), founded 4 the XIII^th and XIV^th centuries respectively, are the most famous Britain’s universities. Today Oxbridge educates less than one tenth 5 Britain’s total university student population. Both universities grew gradually, as federations of independent colleges. In both universities, however, new colleges have been established, for example Green College, Oxford (1979) and Robinson College, Cambridge (1977).

Scotland boasts 6 four ancient universities: Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Aberdeen, all founded in the XV^th and XVI^th centuries. Scottish universities were created with strong links with the ancient universities of continental Europe, and followed their longer and broader course of studies. Even today, they provide four-year undergraduate courses, 7 with the usual three-year courses in England and Wales.

In the XIX^th century many redbrick universities were established to respond to the greatly increased demand for educated people as a result of the Industrial Revolution and expansion of Britain’s Empire. Many of them were sited in the industrial centers, for example, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Liverpool and Bristol.

8 the expansion of higher education in the 1960s plate-glass universities were established, some named after counties or regions rather than old cities, for example Sussex, Kent, East Anglia and Strathclyde. There is also a highly successful Open University, which provides every person in Britain with the opportunity to study for a degree, without leaving their home. It is particularly designed 9 adults who missed opportunities earlier. It conducts learning 10 correspondence, Internet, radio and television, and also through local study centers.

Today there are many university science and technology departments at Oxbridge, Manchester, Imperial College London, and Strathclyde. The matter is whether they will continue to be so in the future.
