贝尔法斯特女王大学（Queen`s University Belfast）

1845年创立的贝尔法斯特女王大学(Queen`s University Belfast)有超过300座建筑处于绿色以及贝尔法斯特南边的郊区之中。图为大学校园中心的都铎王朝哥特式的建筑。

原文：Founded by Queen Victoria in 1845, Queen`s University Belfast has over 300 buildings in the green and leafy suburbs of south Belfast. This is the Lanyon building, an imposing Tudor Gothic-style building at the heart of the campus.

卡迪夫大学（Cardiff University）

卡迪夫大学位于繁荣的市中心，卡迪夫大学的大多数建筑都非常引人注目。

原文：Located in the busy city centre, many of Cardiff`s university buildings are undeniably striking–not least the Main Building.

布里斯托大学（University of Bristol）

布里斯托大学的一些建筑非常古老，要追溯到大学以布里斯托大学学院时期，而大学音乐系的建筑维多利亚房间（Victoria Rooms）就是这样一座古老的建筑。据说查尔斯-狄更斯曾在这所古典的维多利亚时期的房间中阅读过。

原文：Not all of Bristol`s buildings, some of which date back to the institution`s previous incarnation as University College Bristol, are much to look at, but the Faculty of Music`s stunning Victoria Rooms merit a place on this list alone. Charles Dickens reportedly once gave a selection of readings in this early Victorian classical building.

斯特林大学（University of Stirling）

华莱士纪念碑和科特雷尔建筑是斯特林大学最著名的标志性建筑，然而其实斯特林大学的其他地方也是非常美丽的，城堡、湖、草地和森林以及大学的高尔夫课程，都美得让人沉醉。

原文：The Wallace Monument and the Cottrell building are just two features of Stirling University to benit from the stunning surroundings. The locale boasts a castle, lakes meadow and woods–and indeed its own nine-hole golf course.

格拉斯哥大学（University of Glasgow）

格拉斯哥大学被誉为苏格兰最古老的大学之一，大学的Gilbert Scott建筑是英国第二大哥特复兴式建筑。

原文：One of Scotland`s vaunted "Ancient" universities, Glasgow University boasts many fine buildings such as the Gilbert Scott building–the second-largest example of Gothic revival architecture in Britain after the Palace of Westminster.

基尔大学（Keele University）

坐落在斯塔福德郡一个风景如画的620英亩的农村校园，基尔大学不仅风景美丽，在纽卡斯尔安德莱姆城郊还有一个19世纪的豪华古宅，曾经住着Sneyd一家，现在被用做大学的会议中心。

原文：Located in a picturesque 620-acre rural campus in Staffordshire, Keele University benits not just from the scenery but also from Keele Hall, a 19th-century stately home on the outskirts of Newcastle-under-Lyme which once housed the Sneyd family. It now serves as the university conference centre.

苏塞克斯大学（University of Sussex）

巴兹尔-斯宾塞先生的现代主义建筑研究法在苏塞克斯大学（University of Sussex）的可能不是每个人的品味，但即使是传统主义者肯定会就此罢休，周围的观点的南唐斯国家公园。

原文：Sir Basil Spence`s modernist Falmer Building in the University of Sussex may not be to everyone`s taste, but even traditionalists would surely be placated by the surrounding views of the South Downs National Park.

伯明翰大学（University of Birmingham）

尽管位于英国工业第二大城市伯明翰的中心，伯明翰大学的红砖建筑——如图所示的阿斯顿韦伯楼——却是英国最优雅的建筑之一。

原文：Despite its location in the centre of UK`s sprawling and industrial second city, Birmingham University`s red brick constructions–such as the Aston Webb building shown here–are among the country`s most elegant.

埃克塞特大学（University Of Exeter）

埃克塞特大学有许多被隐藏起来的建筑，但是这些被隐藏起来的建筑有的就想是隐藏在绿色中的宝石。 原文：Exeter University has many buildings it would rather hide–not least its ghastly physics department–but within the green Streatham Campus lies the hidden gem of Reed Hall. Originally Streatham Hall, it was renamed upon donation to the university in honour of benactor Alderman W H Reed, and boasted an 11-acre estate with a stunning arboretum or rare and beautiful trees.

爱丁堡大学（University of Edinburgh）

爱丁堡大学的神学系新学院（New College）是一座哥特式的建筑，与其名字不太符，它的历史可以追溯到1843年。据说大学本身建于1583年。新学院的邻居Assembly Hall是爱丁堡艺术节的场地。

原文：Edinburgh University`s gothic New College–home to the Faculty of Divinity–appears to belie its name, dating back to 1843. That said，the university itself was founded back in 1583. New College`s adjacent Assembly Hall also serves as an Edinburgh Festival venue.

华威大学（University of Warwick）

现代主义设计可能并不适合每个人，但华威大学校园的最新建筑，塞曼大楼——命名是为了纪念一位日籍数学家开创了“结理论”——在广阔的绿色校园茁壮成长。

原文：Again the modernist design may not suit everyone, but Warwick University campus`s newest constructions such as the Zeeman Building here–named in honour of a Japanese-born mathematician who helped to pioneer "knot theory"–thrive in their expansive green campus setting.

圣安德鲁斯大学（University of St Andrews）

拥有惊人的古老建筑和戏剧性般朦胧的海岸线，圣安德鲁斯大学拥有所有人都向往的皇家浪漫。

原文：Part of the University of London–indeed, probably the only capital-based university that can merit a spot on this list–Royal Holloway in Surrey is dominated by an elaborate red-brick building modelled on the Chateau de Chambord in France. The building was originally home to a women-only college, and sits within 136 acres of woodland.

杜伦大学（University of Durham）

杜伦大学的学院建筑不同于中世纪的超现代风格，譬如杜伦城堡。

原文：Durham University`s colleges vary from the ultra-modern to the medieval, such as University College`s Durham Castle location shown here.

诺丁汉特伦特大学（Nottingham Trent University）

诺丁汉市最近几年都在试图摆其讨厌的“枪案之都”的绰号，但人们对这座城市的大学建筑的美丽从未有任何怀疑，包括诺丁汉特伦特大学的建筑。

原文：Nottingham city may have spent recent years attempting to shake off its unwanted "Gun Capital" moniker, but there`s never been any doubting the beauty of its university buildings, including the Trent Building–a grade II-listed limestone structure opened by King George V in 1928.

牛津大学（University of Oxford）

剑桥大学（University of Cambridge）

谈了牛津大学后不得不提剑桥大学，游客们特别欣赏国王学院礼拜堂和大学风景如画被称“backs”的河流。

原文：You couldn`t include Oxford without mentioning Cambridge. Visitors often particularly admire King`s College Chapel and the picturesque river area known as the "backs", pictured (its name comes from the fact many colleges back onto the river).

总的来说，建校历史比较悠久的大学，比如牛津、剑桥、格拉斯哥、爱丁堡大学等，校园里的建筑都是非常有特点的，而且都有上百年的历史。计划2017年要去英国读书的同学们，快来看一看你们打算申请的学校有没有上榜吧！
