university
An educational institution offering college and postgraduate courses, generally with advanced research.
A university is an educational institution which offers courses at the college and postgraduate levels. Universities are generally involved in advanced research in areas similar to the courses taught.
Teaching at both college and postgraduate levels defines the educational scope. A below-college school or an institution restricted to supplementary adult courses has a different role.
Research is commonly associated with the subjects taught. A research establishment devoted to research without the university's teaching function is separately defined.
