The term new universities has been used informally to refer to several different waves of new universities created or renamed as such in the United Kingdom.〔(What is a University in the UK )〕 Currently, the term is synonymous with post-1992 universities and sometimes modern universities, referring to any of the former polytechnics, central institutions or colleges of higher education that were given university status by John Major's government in 1992 (through the Further and Higher Education Act 1992) – as well as colleges that have been granted university status since then. Though referred to as new or modern, some were founded without university status as Polytechnics in the early to mid 19th century, an example of which is Royal London Polytechnic Institution which was established in 1838. In the past the term was used to describe the then-new civic universities as early as 1928, such as Bristol University and the other red brick universities.〔Herklots, H, 1928, The New Universities – an external examination, Ernest Benn, London〕 It later came to be used to refer to any of the universities founded in the 1960s after the Robbins Report on higher education. These institutions are now known as plate glass universities. == Post-1992 universities that trace their roots to former polytechnics == * Anglia Ruskin University – formerly Anglia Higher Education College, Anglia Polytechnic then Anglia Polytechnic University * Birmingham City University – formerly the University of Central England in Birmingham and before that, Birmingham Polytechnic * University of Brighton – formerly Brighton Polytechnic * Bournemouth University – formerly Bournemouth Municipal College, Bournemouth College of Technology, Dorset Institute of Higher Education then Bournemouth Polytechnic * University of Central Lancashire – formerly Lancashire Polytechnic * Coventry University – formerly Lanchester Polytechnic then Coventry Polytechnic * De Montfort University – formerly Leicester School of Art and later City of Leicester Polytechnic * University of East London – formerly the West Ham College of Technology then North East London Polytechnic * University of South Wales – formed in April 2013 from the merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport.
