37 listings in the United Kingdom. No account needed.

We list 37 research institutes and doctoral schools in the United Kingdom. By city: 19 in London, 2 in Oxford, 1 in Southend-on-Sea and 1 in Southampton, and 14 more in 14 other cities. 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.
