Universities having a central campus for imparting education are called

A university that concentrates its teaching on a single central campus is a residential or unitary university.

Central universities are defined by their union funding and parliamentary establishment, not by a single-campus design.

Deemed universities are institutions granted university status, which does not by itself mean one central teaching campus.

Open universities deliver learning at a distance rather than through one central campus.

Residential universities house teaching, and often students and staff, at one location.

Affiliating universities, by contrast, oversee colleges spread across a region.
