Well technically the university owns the IP, and I'm in negotions with them to get it back.
What your university may own is not the IP but the copyright, or authorship right, but how exactly so? Did you derive work from that university's proprietary software? Did you sign any document at all granting them the copyright over your work during your university years?
In the UK, and I expect at every university everywhere, you sign a document granting them ownership of your brain when you join.
