Their guild was rechartered as the National Academy of Fine Arts in 1905 and, then in 1923, on the initiative of painter and academic Ernesto de la Cárcova, created as a department of arts extension education in the [[University of Buenos Aires]], known as the Superior Art School of the Nation in Spanish ''"Escuela Nacional Superior de las Artes"''.<ref>Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes, Ernesto de la Cárcova, Argentina. https://sites.google.com/site/escueladelacarcova</ref> ===Australia=== In Australia, many universities have [[residential college]] systems, often combining independent (frequently denominational) and university-owned colleges.

The [[City University of Hong Kong]] has a Community College, similar to HKU's Centennial College, which been in a partnership arrangement with the [[University of Wollongong]] since 2014. ===India=== [[File:Mumbai 03-2016 37 University.jpg|250px|thumb|A building of the [[University of Mumbai]]]] [[File:Madrasuni.jpg|250px|thumb|The [[University of Madras]], established 1857, is one of the three oldest modern [[state universities]] in [[India]]]] [[File:University of Calcutta cropped.JPG|250px|thumb|[[University of Calcutta]], established in 1857, was the first multidisciplinary and secular Western-style institution in Asia.]] Most of the public universities in [[India]] follow the collegiate system.

Created during the reign of [[Elizabeth I of England|Queen Elizabeth I]], it is modelled on the collegiate universities of Cambridge and Oxford. However, only one constituent college was ever founded, hence the curious position of [[Trinity College, Dublin]] (TCD), today. All of the teaching is provided by the college, with degrees being awarded by the university. Within the [[Republic of Ireland]], the four constituent universities of the federal [[National University of Ireland]] (NUI) are, for all essential purposes, independent universities.

Their founding model was based on that of the University of Oxford and they are linked through the [[Claremont University Consortium]], though, unlike other constituent college systems, degrees are conferred separately by the seven constituent institutions and they exist as [[universities]] and [[liberal arts colleges]] in their own right. The colleges are spread over a square mile site and share certain departmental, library and research facilities. In addition, the five undergraduate colleges operate [[Claremont Colleges#Athletics|two intercollegiate athletic programs]], with Claremont, Harvey Mudd, and Scripps forming one program and Pomona and Pitzer the other. ===Former collegiate universities=== [[File:Sorbonne 17thc.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The [[University of Paris]] depicted in a 17th-century engraving]] Some universities that once featured collegiate systems have lost them to mergers or suppression, due to financial, political or other reasons, or (in the case of federal universities) the individual colleges becoming independent universities. Examples include the following: ====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. ====Former federal universities==== * The [[Victoria University (UK)|Victoria University]], which split into the [[Victoria University of Manchester]], the [[University of Liverpool]] and the [[University of Leeds]]. * The [[University of Wales]] was a federal university from its formation in 1893 until 2007, when its colleges became independent and it was transformed into a non-membership accreditation body. * The [[History of Durham University#The federal university 1910–63|University of Durham]] was a federal university with two divisions in Durham and Newcastle between 1909 and 1963, when the Newcastle division became [[Newcastle University]]. * The [[Federal University of Surrey]] was, from 2000 to 2004, a federation of the [[University of Surrey]] and the University of Surrey Roehampton (now [[Roehampton University]]). It was dissolved when Roehampton became an independent university. * The [[University of France]] was established by Napoleon in 1808 and acted as a central university for the ''académies'' (the former universities) until 1896, when these were restored to full university status.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lnmDJ1tnooMC&pg=PA306|pages=306–307|title=The Evolution of Educational Thought|volume=2|author=Émile Durkheim|publisher=Taylor & Francis|date= 2005|isbn=9780415386081}}</ref> * The [[University of South Africa]] was formerly a federal university with constituent colleges in the various provinces of [[South Africa]]. After the [[Second World War]], most of these colleges became autonomous universities, and the University of South Africa became primarily a [[distance education]] institution.
