The term new universities has been used informally to refer to several different waves of new universities created or renamed as such in the United Kingdom.As early as 1928, the term was used to describe the then-new civic universities, such as Bristol University and the other "red brick universities". It would later come to be used to refer to any of the universities founded in the 1960s after the Robbins Report on higher education. These institutions are now known as "plate glass universities".
