Explanation

The University of London was the first British university to admit women to degree courses, beginning in 1878. This was a landmark achievement for women's higher education in the UK. University College London (part of the University of London) had been allowing women to attend lectures from the 1830s, but full degree admission came later. The other options (Coventry, Birmingham, Oxford Brookes) are either modern universities or were not pioneers in women's education.
