Red brick university

A red brick university (or redbrick university) was one of the nine civic universities founded in the major industrial cities of England. They are founded in the 19th century.^[1]^[2] These universities were different from other universities as they accepted students regardless of religion or background. They concentrated on imparting to their students "real-world" skills such as engineering and medicine.^[3]
