Higher Education

The two oldest universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge. These date from the Middle Ages. Each consists of selfgoverning residential colleges. The teaching is based on the tutorial system as well as lectures. Oxford and Cambridge have a special role in England as seminaries of the ruling class. The child of wealthy parents goes from private preparatory school to public school from which he goes to the universities. The cost of education is so high that not many can afford entering universities.

With the advance of industrialization in the 19й century and the growth of manufacture, technicians and scientists were needed. The older universities did not produce them. So science classes were set up in industrial centres and they developed into either technical colleges or the "Modem Universities" (London, Manchester, Birmingham).

These modern universities were built generally in the middle of the large industrial cities.

There is no single body or organisation responsible for the planning and development of higher education as a whole in Britain. Every University is autonomous. The regulations differ from University to University.
