So, why are these universities called as Red-brick?
If you have ever looked into studying at university in the UK, you have probably come across the term of the Red-brick.
In the 19. Century Britain was undergoing vital changes as a result of the Industrial Revolution. In the large industrial cities, there was an urgent need for a workforce with technical and scientific skills. This led to private education system. For example Manchester Mechanic Institute was established for this reason in 1824.These kind of institutions were increadebly successful and became centre of the knowledge an research during the Victorian Area.

Lastly many of these institutions featured buildings built in the Gothic Style with red bricks and at that time this was the popular trend during the Victorian Area. That's Why, this led to institutions being nicknamed Red-Brick Unıversıtıes.

The general name is given by English authorized people in industrial towns of England before the Second World War.
These universities are established in the provinces addressing the middle class, for example, where there are plenty of port workers such as liverpool, to create an alternative to oxford and cambridge, where blue-blooded ones are not accepted. and the reason why these schools are called "red bricks" is that they are cheaply priced (they are red, red victorian buildings made of bricks; the cost is low.)
It can be said that classical education is not given (education in Oxford and Cambridge, which is specific to classical aristocrats) because they do not teach Greek or Latin. These are very, very solid vocational schools.
