THE OPERATION
In the UK, universities are legally independent and can freely recruit their staff and students. They are usually managed by three bodies: the council where the majority is people from outside, the Senate that deals with respect to education and the Court in very limited role. The newer universities are managed by a Board of 12 to 25 members where people from outside are a majority and Academic Board of 30 members where the direction of the university is majoritaire1.
Access to British universities is possible after obtaining the A-level, high school diploma ended.

Contrary to the French term, the college means the place of residence and student life and not their place of study. Besides the rooms in the older buildings are sometimes real suites or apartments of several tens of square meters, all colleges have a chapel, a dining room where the staff table is square and raised relative to that of students , a TV lounge, laundry, etc... and especially sports fields, often outside the city. Until the 1970s, students had come to the table in a black robe and stand up "the gong" to say grace in Latin. On the wall of the dining rooms richly decorated, are set portraits of illustrious alumni college.

The "colleges" have been the oldest to the most modern architecture very carefully, unlike the buildings of study or research that have largely no originality. The 39 Colleges and 7 religious foundations are independent of the university and enjoyed considerable autonomy. For example, colleges select students they wish to accept them (although this is currently being challenged) and stakeholders. They are responsible for amenities and welfare for students, as well as courses in small groups. In addition, many colleges are richer than the university itself (Christ Church and St John's College in particular).
