Colleges of the University of London are listed under the University of London.

University colleges

This is a list of university colleges in the UK. Institutions included on this list are university colleges that are recognised bodies with their own degree awarding powers;[1] it does not include institutions with "university college" in their title that are listed bodies as parts of a university (see colleges within universities in the United Kingdom), or other institutions with "university college" in their title. Some institutions that have been awarded university college title recently are not yet shown under that name on the recognised bodies list, separate citations are given for these institutions.
