Answer 1

The colleges of higher education at Cambridge (Christ Church, etc.) and other sites were residential halls in which students carried out study under under tutors and house masters and learn by attending lectures by what we would call visiting professors who were committed to doing so one or more times a year.
This education might be done in a very short time by intense study in a way that impressed the college masters or take years of intermittant study. Reading the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica I own, I learned that the different colleges had different traditions and some places the permanent "teachers" were called fellows of the college while other places they were called "students" while what we would call students were associates, etc. See the source (some places that claim to offer the 1911 offer a paragraph instead of the whole thing as this site does - read down past the city info. You may wish to lookup Oxford also.

The other major establishment university was Oxford. Oxford and Cambridge, taken together, are commonly referred to as "Oxbridge."

Earlier in the century, dissenters (non-Anglicans) and reformers started the University of London which was independent of the established univesities.

Others in England went to Scottish universities (for example, Edinburgh, which was quite good — had an excellent medical school — or Glasgow) or studied abroad.

Most people who proceeded in their education apprenticed, even in the professions like law, accounting and engineering. That is, they studied with somebody for whom they worked for a number of years, advancing step by step to more and more responsibility, until they became a licensed or otherwise recognized professional. In law, in London, the chambers of lawyers where you could "article" (apprentice) were organized as a number of Inns of [the] Court. See, for example, the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inns_of_Court in Wikipedia.
