The ancient universities are seven British and Irish medieval universities and early modern universities that were founded before 1600.[1] Four of these are located in Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and St Andrews), two in England (Oxford and Cambridge), and one in Ireland (Dublin). The ancient universities in Great Britain and Ireland are amongst the oldest extant universities in the world. The ancient universities in Britain are also among twenty-seven institutions recognised by the British monarchy as privileged bodies of the United Kingdom.[2]
