ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES

In England there are 35 universities. Oxford University is the oldest, for its history goes back to the 12th century.

The University of Paris became the model for French Universities and Oxford. The beginning may have been a migration of English students from Paris in about 1167 or 1168. In the 13th century, first mention occurs of university " chests" which, were benefactions designed for the assistance of poor students. Halls or places of residence for students also began to be established. The earliest colleges were| University College, founded in 1249, Balliol College, founded in 1264.

The University of Cambridge came into existence somewhat later than Oxford. Oxford and Cambridge are known for their specific system of education. Both Oxford University and Cambridge University is a federation of self-governed and independent colleges headed by Masters. A college is a place where students trained for different professions live: so students studying literature and those trained for physics may live in one and the same college. Colleges are built on a plan common to all. There is a library, dining-hall and rooms for the students here.

The students of all colleges go to lectures at the University. You study at Oxford or Cambridge for 4 years, 3 terms a year. The academic year lasts from October to September; the long vacation lasts 3 months. After three years of studies a student may be granted a Bachelor's degree and later the degrees of Master and Doctor.

The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge have University presses.

In the 19th century the dominance of Oxford and Cambridge was challenged by the rise of the civic universities, such as London, Manchester and Birmingham. They quickly acquired recognition - not only in technological fields, but also in the fine and liberal arts. Universities in Great Britain historically have been independent and self governing. Students are carefully selected by examination performance. The tuition fees are paid out of public funds; in addition, most students receive a tax-financed maintenance grant, inversely related to parental income, to cover living expenses.

In 1971 the Open University was begun. It is a degree-granting institution that provides courses of study for adults, who missed the chance of higher education, and it uses television, radio and local study programmes.

Notes:

chest - ящик, фонд, self-governed colleges – коледжі з самоуправлінням; to be granted a …. Degree – отримати ступінь...; University press – університетське видавництво; dominance was challenged – виключне становище було поставлене під сумнів; to acquire recognition – здобути визнання; fine and liberal arts – гуманітарні науки; to be selected by examination performance – бути відібраним на основі іспитів; tax-financed maintenance grant – виплата на утримання з державного бюджету; to cover expenses – покривати витрати.
