A. The University of Cambridge is proud of its museum. The museum was founded by Richard, seventh Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion in 1816 and is called after him. The founder presented his famous art collection and library to the University (where he had taken his degree nearly fifty years earlier). He also gave the University £ 100,000 to provide a building for his collection. Many of the best paintings we can see in the Fitzwilliam Museum used to belong to this outstanding man.

B. Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. There is no clear date of its foundation, but we know for a fact that teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed fast from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris. In 1878 Oxford opened its doors for women. Nowadays the university’s student population is over 20,000. It consists of students from more than a hundred and forty countries and territories. Over a third comes from outside the UK.

C. The University of Aberdeen is one of the ancient universities. It was founded in Old Aberdeen, Scotland. It is the fifth oldest university in what is now the United Kingdom. It started as King’s College in February 1495, but in April 1593 the second university, Marischal College, was founded in the city. It was highly unusual at the time to have two universities in one place. In 1860 the two colleges were finally united into the University of Aberdeen.

D. St Andrews is Scotland’s first University and third oldest in the English-speaking world. It was founded in 1413.

The academic schools and departments of the University include: Art, History, Biology, Chemistry, Classical Studies, Ancient History, Greek, Latin, Economic & Finance, Computer Studies, English, Geography and Geostudies, Modern Languages and many others.

E. The University of Edinburgh was founded in 1583. It has the largest library in Scotland that includes more than a million books, about 600,000 electronic books and 20,000 e-journals. It has 20 laboratories. Many of its graduates are well known all over the world. Some of them are Charles Darwin, a scientist, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a writer, Joseph Black, a chemist.

F. The University of Glasgow is located in the west end of the city. This university was founded in 1451 and is the fourth oldest university in the United Kingdom.
