This is the category for institutions who provide tertiary education, but not at the university level.

In most countries, these are called "colleges".

However, in the US, the term "college" is often used generically to refer to any higher education institution which awards undergraduate degrees only. We classify these as "university colleges" - and if they offer postgraduate degrees also, we classify them as "universities".
