Universities Tests Act 1871
The Universities Tests Act 1871 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

It also forbade religious tests for "any degree (other than a degree in divinity)". Passed during the course of William Ewart Gladstone's first ministry, the act was to obtain support from the non-conformists since these were a major support group for the Liberal Party.
