There are 44 universities in Britain, over 700 colleges teaching everything from engineering to satellite communications; many other types of training colleges include art schools, colleges of education for teacher training, and commercial colleges.
Universities govern themselves, although they receive most of their money from the Government. Oxford and Cambridge and some others are made up of separate colleges where students live and work. Other universities, like Manchester or Bristol, do not have separate colleges, their students meet together for classes and live in hostels or lodgings.
A university usually have both faculties and departments. The faculties are arts, law medicine, science and theology. The departments include engineering, economics, commerce, agriculture, music and technology.
At the head of each faculty there is a professor. A staff of teachers called lecturers give lectures to large number of students or study with small groups, and here the students have a chance to discuss.
All universities admit men and women, but within some universities there are colleges specially for one sex. Most of the universities provide hostels for their students.
