About this dataset

  • This map contains 1,068 mapped records for UK universities. OpenStreetMap coverage depends on local contributors.
  • The map includes places classified as universities within the United Kingdom. Separate campuses and university buildings can have their own records. Area and line records use their mapped bounding-box centre. A centre can be outside an irregular shape and does not mark an entrance.
  • Select a feature to read its name and source fields. Use the source link to inspect the original record.
  • The OpenStreetMap snapshot date is 2026-09-14T23:00:21Z. The dataset was prepared on 15 September 2026.
  • Points can represent campuses, university sites, or separately mapped university buildings. Nearby points with the same name and linked identity are combined. The number of points is not a count of institutions.
