Ancient university governance in Scotland
The
ancient university governance
structure in
Scotland
is the organisational system imposed by a series of Acts of Parliament called the
Universities (Scotland) Acts 1858 to 1966
. The Acts applied to what were termed the 'older universities': the
University of St Andrews
, the
University of Glasgow
, the
University of Aberdeen
and the
University of Edinburgh
. Whilst the Acts do not directly apply to the
University of Dundee
(except insofar as section 13 of the Act of 1966 conferred a power to appoint, by Order in Council, the date for its independence from the
University of St Andrews
), the same governance structure was ordained for use by that institution in its
Royal charter
. Together these five universities are commonly referred to as the
ancient universities of Scotland
.
