This is the full list of .uk extensions.

For investment I wouldn't bother registering anything other than .co.uk or .org.uk

You can't register .ac.uk.
There are for univesities and colleges only.

Exeter was on my application shortlist, although I later chose U of London (IoE).

EDIT: I eventually decided to stay at www.hku.hk though.
