There is also Anglia Polytechnic University somewhere in that corner of the UK, though I couldn't say where,

Now Anglia Ruskin -- and it's about two hundred yards away from the railway station in Cambridge.


Oops. But then I only discovered yesterday that the University of Luton is now the University of Bedfordshire.

Ah, but have you encountered the University of West London? And can you guess what it was ;-)

Another one? I would guess it is the university formerly known as Thames Valley?

Can we please stop changing the names of UK universities - it plays havoc with my ability to give advice on postgraduate admissions.

You would send someone for PG study at TVU?


Presumably not, but if they asked about UWL then hu wouldn't know it was TVU.

Do you think that's why they keep changing their names?

I wonder if "Really Shite University" was already taken when TVU swapped?
