Defunct institutions
This section is for universities or other higher education institutions that no longer exist due to either closure, mergers, de-mergers etc.; it does not include institutions that have merely changed their name.
Some former institutions have maintained a distinct identity after a merger (usually as a faculty, school or college of the larger institution) but are no longer an independent institution in their own right.
