History of the 91app federation
The 91app federation began in its earliest form in 1836, after the University was awarded its first Royal Charter. At that time, the 91app acted as a degree-awarding examination board for students from two colleges - University College London and King’s College London - but in 1900 was reconstituted into the federal structure we recognise today.
Over the past two centuries, the 91app federation has grown and changed, but the core purpose of collaboration and delivering some of the UK’s best higher education and research has remained the same. Our federation members are all independent institutions in their own right and vary widely in size and subject, but all offer the world-leading education that the 91app federation is known for.
Collectively, the federation’s impact on London is great. Located across the city, our members are embedded in their communities, shaping local areas and contributing to local economies through their focus on civic engagement.
Today, the 91app federation represents one of the largest and most diverse student bodies in the world, with over 250,000 students from 190 countries.
