University Of London

Founded in 1836, the university ab initio comprised merely a pair of colleges: University faculty London, that previously had no official employed standing and didn't apply religious tests to its students, and King's faculty, that had been employed since 1829 which admitted only members of the Church of state. every King's (founded 1829) and University faculty London (founded 1826) pre-date the University of London, that at the beginning served alone as Associate in Nursing examining body for the constituent schools.
In 1858, the university expanded   its role by giving the University of London International Programmes to candidates outside of the colleges, the first of its kind at intervals the country. a fresh headquarters at half-dozen city Gardens, providing the university with examination halls and offices, was designed to accommodate the new role.

In 1878, the University set another first once it became the first university at intervals the dominion to admit women on equal terms with men. Four female students obtained Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1880 and a pair of obtained Bachelor of Science degrees in 1881, all over again the first at intervals the country.[4]

In 1898, part as a response to criticisms of universities that merely served as centres for the administration of tests, and entails analysis and education to be extra central functions of universities, the first University of London Act was passed, reforming the university and giving it responsibility for look course content and tutorial standards among its institutions.

 The look was conducted through recently intentional centralised faculties and Boards of Studies, and King's and UCL presently became constituent components of the University of London. A symbolic part to the new centralisation of the university was the actual fact that UCL property became property of the University of London.[5] This important growth of role meant the University all over again needed further house, so half-dozen city Gardens was vacated in 1899.
