A university or ‘uni’ is an institution of higher education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects and typically provides undergraduate and postgraduate education.

Unis offer a wide range of academic disciplines, such as sciences, humanities, engineering, social sciences, business, law, medicine, and so on. Universities also engage in research across many fields, and they may also offer community services, including continuing education programs, cultural events, and outreach initiatives.

A typical university campus will have multiple faculties or colleges, each specialising in specific academic areas. Each will have faculty members, tutors, lecturers, and professors who are experts in their respective fields to teach and conduct research.

Some large uni campuses can be like mini-cities with restaurants and cafes, libraries, laboratories, transport hubs, Halls of Residence for students, medical facilities, auditoriums, and other facilities to support academic and research activities.

Unis have the resources to support people like you on their learning journey and have many facilities to cater for the variety of social and cultural backgrounds that make up the student cohort.
