University of Liverpool
The University of Liverpool was established in 1881 as University College Liverpool, part of the Victoria University. Following a Royal Charter and Act of Parliament, the University of Liverpool became an independent University with the right to confer its own degrees in 1903.
The term 'red brick' was first coined by a Liverpool professor to describe the red brick built civic universities that were built in the UK mostly in the latter part of the 19th Century.
