It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Colleges within universities in the United Kingdom.

[edit]

Considering several of the examples mentioned of colleges within universities are Irish or American, this is a poor suggestion. -- Corgi (talk) 17:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Personally, I think that article should simply be renamed Constituent Colleges of the United Kingdom. mnmazur  voicemail 

But in several of the universities the colleges have never been "constituents". Timrollpickering (talk) 10:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is clear that this suggestion does not accord with the topic, probably the proposer misunderstood the distinctive nature and history of "collegiate universities", i have removed the merge template from the article Ajbpearce (talk) 14:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reorganisation of page

[edit]

I would like to propose a reorganisation of this page to better inform people what collegiate universities are and how they work in different countries. My idea would be something like:

  1. History
  2. Forms of collegiate university
    1. Federal and confederal universities (e.g. London)
    2. Traditional collegiate universities (e.g. Oxford)
    3. Independent and dependent colleges (separated out from federal/traditional)
    4. Affiliated colleges (e.g. QUB - not always regarded as collegiate)
  3. Collegiate universities around the world (by country)

Most of the material for this is already here, but this would give a more logical structure to the page. What do others think? Robminchin (talk) 00:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
