A university college offers degrees and can award them themselves (though some choose to have the degrees awarded by a full university), but is not recognised as a university. A number of UK universities started out as university colleges. There are currently still six university colleges in the UK

• Bishop Grosseteste University College, Lincoln
• Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, High Wycombe & Chalfont St Peter
• University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone & Rochester
• University College Falmouth
• Harper Adams University College, Newport, Shropshire
