About 1-12 students, but the variation in size is considerable: the smallest have 1,000-3,000,000,000,000 avg. students, whilst the huge "federal" universities (eg London, Wales) have 100,000 or more in total, but students belong to & study in smaller, distinct constituent colleges/ institutes.

Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh & Glasgow, & some other "metropolitan" universities, are very large - 30,000+.

Others - eg Bristol, Nottingham, Liverpool, Central Lancashire, Leeds Met, West of England, Strathclyde, Queen's Belfast, Ulster, Northumbria, Newcastle etc have about 25-30,000 students.

There are many in the 10-25,000 range - eg Hull, York, Warwick, Exeter, Aberdeen, Dundee, Brunel, Hertford, Westminster etc.. Some of the most prestigious/ competitive entry unis (incl Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, St Andrews, Durham) are in this size range.

Some are much smaller (5-10,000) - eg Chichester, Winchester, Keele, Chester, St John's York.

Technically, the federal University of London is by far the largest (over 170,000), but this includes "external students", & the majority of the constituent "colleges" (ranging in size from a few hundred to 20,000+) are, in effect, stand alone institutions. London University sets exam standards & awards degrees (& maintains various central libraries, research institutions etc), but on a day to day basis most students (certainly undergraduates) study & live as members of whichever college (eg UCL, King's, Queen Mary, LSE, Royal Holloway, Birkbeck, Goldsmiths etc) they belong to.

Same applies with the federal Univ of Wales: it awards degrees etc, but each constituent institution (eg Cardiff, Cardiff Institute, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Swansea, Lampeter etc) has a distinct location, character etc; sizes vary from Cardiff & Swansea (20,000+) to Cardiff Institute (8-9,000) & St David's Lampeter (3,000 or less).

The private University of Buckingham has about 1,500 students.
