Universities in the United Kingdom have generally been instituted by Royal Charter, Papal Bull, Act of Parliament or an instrument of government under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. For new public universities, approval is required from the Privy Council, while private universities may be granted the right to use the title by Companies House. The exact criteria for University title vary between the four countries of the United Kingdom. Degree awarding powers, which are three-tiered and allow the granting of foundation degrees, taught degrees, and research degree, are granted by the Privy Council on the advice of the Quality Assurance Agency.
Institutions that hold degree awarding powers are termed Recognised Bodies, this list includes universities, university colleges, colleges of the University of London, higher education colleges, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Listed Bodies offer courses leading to degrees of a Recognised Body, this includes institutions whose degrees are validated by a recognised body, and the colleges of the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Durham. Undergraduate applications to almost all UK universities are managed by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)

http://www.bhf.org.uk/findthecure Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we fund pioneering research across the UK. Find out about the life-saving research our team in at Cambridge University are working on. Dr Sanjay Sinha, BHF Senior Clinical Research Fellow and Dr Johannes Bargehr, BHF-Funded PhD student are working on a ‘heart muscle patch’, which, when transplanted on a heart with impaired function, could help repair the damaged heart muscle. “We have the great opportunity to make a big difference; a real difference to heart disease” says Dr Sanjay Sinha. Will Bernard’s (BHF-Funded PhD student) research focuses on the mechanism in which cells within blood vessel cells communicate with each other and how this goes wrong in cardiovascular disease. “This money has allowed us...

Improvements in research have seen Cambridge University and Imperial College London surpass Harvard University in the latest authoritative annual ranking of the world's top universities, published on Tuesday, with four British institutions in the top six. The QS ranking of world universities, regarded as the most rigorous of its type, places Imperial and Cambridge as second equal, behind only the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the international stage in 2014, thanks to a year of impressive citations measured by QS's survey of academic output. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/sep/16/cambridge-imperial-oxford-ucl-in-top-five-worlds-universities http://www.wochit.com

UCLan has hosted the UK's first ever undergraduate research conference. Held at the University's Preston Campus between the 19 and 20 April, the British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) brought together over 150 students from 40 universities from across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Commenting on the future of undergraduate research, Professor Stuart Hampton-Reeves added: "This conference marks the start of an exciting time for undergraduate research. It has played an increasingly significant role in American Higher Education for 25 years, and we really think it can play a fundamental role here in the UK contributing to the future development of our students."

Many universities prohibit romantic relationships between faculty members and students, and professors who transgress are usually out of a job. In Romance in the Ivory Tower, Paul Abramson takes aim at university policies that forbid relationships between faculty members and students. He argues provocatively that the issue of faculty-student romances transcends the seemingly trivial matter of who sleeps with whom and engages our fundamental constitutional rights. By what authority, Abramson asks, did the university become the arbiter of romantic etiquette among consenting adults? Do we, as...

Read your free e-book: http://appgame.space/mebk/50/en/B00BZAOE7Y/book Jumping from the Ivory Tower demonstrates the positive results that occur when colleges work with communities to develop students with a sense of place. The book examines the role of colleges and communities in addressing today's environmental problems, including climate change and biodiversity loss, and shows how service learning changes both minds and behavior. Russo's work is based on two case studies of creating sustainable communities in Colorado and New Jersey. The book also examines the politics of environmental science through a careful consideration of traditional ecological knowledge, environmental justice, and eco-exclusions on a local and global level. It suggests methods to inspire leaders and assist commun...
Read your free e-book: http://appgame.space/mebk/50/en/B00K8CQ3WO/book People outside and within colleges and universities often view these institutions as fair and reasonable, far removed from the inequalities that afflict society in general. Despite greater numbers of women, working class people, and people of coloras well as increased visibility for Lgbtq students and staffover the past fifty years, universities remain ivory towers that perpetuate institutionalized forms of sexism, classism, racism, and homophobia. Transforming the Ivory Tower builds on the rich legacy of historical struggles to open universities to dissenting voices and oppressed groups. Each chapter is guided by a commitment to praxisthe idea that theoretical understandings of inequality must be applied to concrete st...

Three are in their early careers, three are facing tenure, and three are recognized leaders in their field. Each of the authors presents her story as a set of choices and reveals the alternatives and the decision making process. Many choices are a trade-off between different roles; teacher versus researcher, wife/mother versus professional, researcher versus administrator. Insights are developed and shared with the reader. The women academics in this book represent a wide variety of disciplines, ages, ethnicity, and family makeup. Their paths and insights are different, but their choices are similar, a...

IVORY TOWER is the documentary about college costs and exploding tuition rates in the United States, and we look at the trailer and footage direct from the movie's premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Filmmaker Andrew Rossi discusses how the United States has gone from a nation that emphasized accessible higher education, to a country where the big business of education has made economic and social mobility less fluid than ever. We also discuss the potential for alternative models of affordable education and the sacrifices that people are having to make to go to college in this BYOD--the world's only talk show all about documentary films. FILM INFO: IVORY TOWER questions the purpose of higher education in an era when the price of college has increased more than for any other servi...

I see no new day rising.
I've been living in darkness for so long.
The storm marches through the horizon coming to take me on.
Isolation has clipped my wings.
There's no way out of this cold. I need you to come close.
There's some warmth in the way that the distance grows.
I find no shelter, no security, no calm before this storm.
Staring at the sun has never, never, kept me warm.
