A University college is an institution (public or private) providing tertiary education at the level of undergraduate degrees but which does not have full university status and powers, for example to award postgraduate degrees in its own name. It normally does not do research, but this depends on the country context - in the UK many do carry out research. In the UK if an institution calls itself a "University College", we would categorise it under University colleges.

For a fuller discussion see the Wikipedia article on University college.

There are also specific institutions called University College - some are universities.
