This point of view also strongly supports the claims of University College London and King's College London, although if formal recognition as a university is considered essential Durham

The OED definition thus places Durham, where students studied for degrees from 1833, as the third oldest and UCL and King's, where the first students matriculated in the University of London in 1838, as joint fourth.
