The University of London is a federation of some forty-four schools and institutes, which together register over 40,000 internal and a great number of external students; the latter come to London only to sit for their examinations. In fact most external students at London University are living in London.

The schools, institutes and colleges of the University of London are essentially teaching institutions providing instructions chiefly by means of lectures, which are attended mainly by day students.

The character and organization of the University of London are such that it’s better to look at its history separately. The university was founded in 1836 as an examining and degree-granting body only and remained as an institution with limited functions until 1900 when it was reconstructed in its present form. The Senate (Рада Університету) was given the lawful right to admit institutions within the County of London as Schools of the University.

The schools of the London University vary greatly in size and character from a series of specialized postgraduate institutes and a number of medical and dental schools to several large institutions such as: University College and King’s College which in themselves are autonomous universities in most respects.

The University of Wales provides a further example of a federal institution. Founded in 1893 it organized the three university colleges into a unified system for purpose of degree examinations. Later on four more university colleges were added as constituent parts of the University. Now it is a great university with 20,000 internal students.
