From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
