university college
noun
An institution providing higher education but without full or independent university status.
- The exact status and organization of a university college varies from place to place. In the United Kingdom, the title was formerly given to colleges of higher education affiliated with but not part of a university, and usually unable to grant their own degrees. The title now confers a status intermediate between that of a university and a college, and institutions holding it are usually wholly independent.Since at least the 16th cent., University College has also been the name of one of the colleges of the University of Oxford (more formally ‘(the College of) the Great Hall of the University’)..
