The third-oldest university in England debate has been carried out since the mid 19th century, with rival claims being made originally by Durham University as the third oldest officially recognised university (1832) and the third to confer degrees (1837) and the University of London as the third university to be granted a Royal Charter (1836). These have been joined more recently by University College London as it was founded as London University (1826) and was the third oldest university institution to start teaching (1828) and by King's College London. Most historians identify Durham as the third oldest, following standard practice in how a university is defined and how this is applied historically, although the popular press is more divided.
