Quick Question(s)
Does anyone know what the Oxford/Cambridge/Durham uni group is called.
I think it's like a persons name or something.
Also are there any other Uni's included in this list (Imperial etc)?

Re: Quick Question(s)
Are you thinking of "The Russell Group"?

Collegiate Universities?
Red brick uni's are all non ex-poli uni's.

Not Oxbridge, although I think Durham is considered Red Brick in some people's estimations.

Re: Quick Question(s)
According to wikipedia there is no other common group they are a member of.
"Collegiate Universities" - Not a group in the sense Dace seems to be asking.

Russell Group of Universities
The Russell Group of Universities is a self-selected group of large research-led British universities, with 18 of the 19 members being in the top 20 in terms of size of research funding. The group is often presented in the media as a kind of Ivy League, representing the interests of Britain's prestigious universities. However, unlike the Ivy League, all of the Russell Group universities are state-funded. The confusion of 'large' with 'prestigious' has also sometimes led to assumptions that some smaller universities, such as York, Durham and St Andrews are members, when they are not.

I don`t think Red brick uni`s are all non ex-poli uni`s. I know Exeter is Red brick. Surrey is n`t. (possibly Reading and Brunel as well) It depends on when they were formed.
