	Imperial College London - National network for diabetes research launched by two leading British universities
		Consistently rated in the top three UK university institutions, Imperial College London is a world leading science-based university whose reputation for excellence in teaching and research attracts students (11,000) and staff (6,000) of the highest international quality.
		The University of Oxford is internationally renowned for the quality and diversity of its research, with over 3000 academic staff and 3000 postgraduate students working on research.
		The University's position as a centre of excellence is enhanced by the ongoing development of interdisciplinary research centres, and collaboration with international academic and industrial partners.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Leader Page Articles : British universities and globalisation
		The universities have attempted to obtain private sector funding, but this tends not to provide infrastructural money, is apparently directed more towards short-term results in applied sciences, and has given rise to publicly expressed concerns about censorship in the form of pressure from funders not to publish adverse or inconclusive findings.
		British universities' responses to racist attacks have also left much to be desired, and have been motivated mainly by the fear of publicity.
		British universities, on the evidence to date, are therefore unprepared for the issues arising from their dependence on overseas student recruitment, or rather, on overseas fee income.

	International Higher Education--15/14
		British ministers, of course, are inclined to make large claims for the reputation of British higher education abroad, but rather to one's surprise, in spite of various minor scandals, British higher education does seem to have held its position.
		British universities have benefited from the dual funding system and from the recognition that it is more efficient to invest in research in universities than in the Centre nationale de recherche scientifique or the Max Planck institute.
		There exists therefore the opportunity for British universities to enhance their position by entrepreneurial activities, and by further diversifying their funding base, and it is evident that many are doing so to considerable effect, though certainly not yet on anything like the scale one can find in the United States.

	British universities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The perceived ranking of top British universities is also heavily influenced by the popularity in recent years of league tables which rank universities by teaching and research.
		In the United Kingdom the vast majority of university students attend universities situated a long distance from their family homes; this is not true for universities in most European countries, such as Italy or Spain.
		It is common for graduates of universities worldwide to place the name of their university, or universities, after the abbreviation for their degree, or degrees.

	British Marshall Fellowships & Scholarships
		Scholars are required to enroll at a British university for the full two years of their award as full-time students proceeding to either a first (Bachelor's) or a higher degree.
		As a British Marshall Scholarship is intended to give the holder an opportunity to see as much as possible of the United Kingdom, meet its people, and observe its institutions, Scholars should be prepared to spend a reasonable proportion of their vacation time in the country.
		British Marshall Scholars choosing undergraduate programs in the United Kingdom will therefore find that a considerable measure of specialized attainment is expected in their chosen subject, especially as they will have to complete their work in two years instead of the three normally taken by British undergraduates.

	BakuTODAY.net - British universities encouraged to spy on 'Asian-looking' students (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Lecturers and staff at British universities will be asked to spy on "Asian-looking" and Muslim students they suspect of supporting terrorist acts and involvement in Islamic extremism, The Guardian reported.
		Citing a document drawn up by the British education ministry, the newspaper said universities had been warned of talent-spotting by terrorists on campuses across the country, and of students being "groomed" for extremism.
		The report also suggests universities make checks on external speakers invited to give lectures by their student Islamic societies, which it says can often be "more radical speakers or preachers".

	Kenyon College - British Universities
		When considering study at a British university, the student should consult the university's prospectus, many of which are available in the Office of International Education, and read evaluations (also on file in the office) written by Kenyon students who have attended those universities in the past.
		For most universities (except Oxford and Cambridge, which rarely accept "occasional students"), independent application is possible though not always preferable to applying via a program such as Arcadia University, Institute for Study Abroad, or Interstudy, which act as intermediaries for many British universities.
		Students enroll as fully matriculated students at the university and take four courses: two year-long courses in the Exeter School of English, one course taught by the accompanying Kenyon faculty member who is also the resident director, and one course in an Exeter department of the student's choice.

	israelinsider: anti-Semitism: British professors ban Israeli universities
		The AUT council voted to boycott Bar-Ilan because it runs courses at colleges in the West Bank town of Ariel and "is thus directly involved with the occupation of Palestinian territories contrary to United Nations resolutions".
		Council delegates also called for a boycott of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, after claims that the institution had confiscated land occupied by Palestinian families in east Jerusalem, and agreed to circulate to all local associations a statement from Palestinian organisations calling for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions.
		Her speech was met with rapturous applause from the audience, before AUT executive president Angela Roger cut short the session and moved to deny a right of reply to opponents of the motions.

		British and EU nationals are heavily subsidized compared to foreigners, but the degree is still a bargain.
		P.S. Please also note that British universities are not nearly as concerned with extracurriculars as the American Ivies.
		All the British students will have specialized to three or four subjects for their last two years of high school, so the environment will be quite different from an American college's.

	Discriminations: British Universities Confront Race
		In contrast to the United States, where 33 percent of American students at four-year institutions in the fall of 2000 were from ethnic minorities, in Britain just 13.2 percent of university students who are British were from ethnic minority groups in the same academic year, according to Britain's Higher Education Statistics Agency.
		So, 10% of Britain's population is nonwhite, and 10% of the students admitted to Britain's prestigious old universities in 2001 were minorities.
		Thus we are told that "[o]ne impetus for change is a race-relations law that went into force last May, requiring universities to craft racial-equality plans," but we are not told what is meant by equality, or what he plans should plan for.

	Moonbat Central » Blog Archive » British Universities’ Jihad against Israeli Universities
		The Association of University Teachers’ annual council, which begins on April 20 in Eastbourne, will also debate whether to boycott three of Israel’s eight universities - Haifa University, Bar Ilan University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem - over their “alleged complicity with the government’s policies” on the Palestinian territories.
		The great irony here is that these Israeli universities are all themselves bastions dominated by the Academic Left, including some extremists that make Ward Churchill look like a sane moderate.
		Pappe was not fired for the fraud, although he should have been, nor was he “suppressed.” None of that matters to the British boycott pogromochiki.
