The university scene in Britain in 19th century. The founding of the University College of London in 1828 and King’s College in 1831. In 1836, the University of London was founded, which conducted examinations and awarded diplomas to graduates of the University College of London and King’s College. By the end of the century a recognized teaching university had been established with faculties, study committees and academic representation. The British university scene until 1850 was dominated by Oxford and Cambridge. Major reforms were made in these two institutions after 1850.
