Talk:List of universities in Scotland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should a list of universities contain colleges of higher education? Might we rename this list 'list of higher educational institutions in Scotland'?? --Doc (?) 22:52, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I can see your point but in other lists colleges of higher education are listed and because they have degree giving status they get to be in this list, no one reading the article could be confused as to which are Universities and which are higher education institutions, so I defend their right to be there.

[edit] University of Strathclyde date

I've just change the University of Strathclyde's date from 1796 to 1964 - the date it actually became a University. I have sympathy with those who have pride in Strathclyde's long history through its previous incarnations back to 1796, but if you use that to date it then you can justify a lot of strange things. eg. If tomorrow they upgraded an school/college with roots back to the 14th century to University status, could you call it 'the oldest University in Scotland' even though it's just been created? aldaden 12:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
