467 listings in the United Kingdom. No account needed.

We list 467 colleges in the United Kingdom. By city: 54 in London, 6 in Edinburgh, 6 in Birmingham and 5 in York, and 199 more in 161 other cities (197 with no city recorded). Across all its institutions, the subjects we hold most data for are business and management, computing and software, social sciences, medicine and health. Each profile names the public register it comes from and links to the institution's own website, which is where fees and admissions are confirmed.
