University

A university is an institution of tertiary education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines.

University is derived from the Latin phrase universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
