====Former residential college systems====
*At the [[University of St Andrews]], the surviving colleges play a purely ceremonial role and are neither teaching nor residential bodies. The three colleges are [[St Mary's College, St Andrews|St Mary's College]] for the Faculty of Divinity and [[United College, St Andrews|United College]] for the other faculties, and [[St Leonard's College (University of St Andrews)|St Leonard's College]] for postgraduates.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/divinity/about/|title=About St Mary's College|publisher=University of St Andrews|date=3 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/collections/archives/themunimentcollection/collegiaterecords/unitedcollege/|title=United College|publisher=University of St Andrews|date=3 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/pgstudents/stleonards/about/|title=St Leonard's College|publisher=University of St Andrews|date=3 September 2017}}</ref> University College, Dundee was incorporated into St Andrews in 1898 and was merged with the medical school, the dental school and the Dundee School of Economics in 1954 to form Queen's College. This became the independent [[University of Dundee]] in 1967.<ref>{{cite web|url=|title=Records of University College, Dundee and Queen's College, Dundee, being the University of St Andrews in Dundee| publisher=University of St Andrews|date=27 October 2021}}</ref>
* At the [[University of Coimbra]], independent colleges much like the Oxbridge ones were created throughout the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. They were abolished with the extinction of religious orders in 1836.<ref name=coimbra/>
*The colleges of the former [[University of Paris]] were suppressed after the [[French Revolution]].<ref name="Cathenc Paris"/>
*The [[University of Salamanca]] had a large number of colleges (four ''colegios mayores'', or large colleges, and many ''colegios menores'', or small colleges), which were abolished in 1807 when [[Napoleon]] invaded [[Spain]].<ref name=salamanca/>
*[[Leipzig University]] as an example of a medieval German university (currently the second oldest in the country) was structured into colleges in a similar way. Often they were set up by a particular monastic order to serve its members. Colleges served as places of living and collegiate teaching. They had jurisdiction over their members (i.e. municipal courts of the city of [[Leipzig]] would refuse to hear actions brought against them). In addition there were private residential halls (Bursen). Parallel to the college system there were four nations ([[university nations]]) similar to the model of the universities of Prague (Leipzig's 'mother' institution, see [[Decree of Kutná Hora]]) and Paris after which they were modelled. During the age of enlightenment this structure was abandoned. Still today, the names of the former colleges live on as names of buildings used by the university.
