Universities in Britain can be divided into the ancient universities ('Oxbridge' and St Andrews), traditional collegiate universities (such as Durham), the 19th Century foundations (such as the University of London), and the post-War Universities. The ancient and collegiate institutions often have alternative or additional requirements to the general entry requirements laid down by the British equivalent of UAC, which is called "UCAS" (https://www.ucas.com/). It is important, therefore, when applying to an ancient or collegiate university to attend to both what is outlined on the UCAS site, and also to make inquiries of the particular university concerned.
