===Colleges in special relation===
{{main|University of London International Programmes}}
Between 1946 and 1970, the university entered into 'schemes of special relation' with university colleges in the [[Commonwealth of Nations]]. These schemes encouraged the development of independent universities by offering a relationship with the University of London. University colleges in these countries were granted a [[royal charter]]. An academic board of the university college negotiated with the University of London over the entrance requirements for the admission of students, syllabuses, examination procedures and other academic matters. During the period of the special relationship, graduates of the colleges were awarded University of London degrees.

Some of the colleges which were in special relation are listed below, along with the year in which their special relation was established.
