OT: A number of the (what I have been calling) universities in my country have the seemingly bizarrely redundant labelling "University College X" where X is the locale each is based in. Your comment made me look up why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_college https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_college It appears that, “In a number of countries, a university college is a college institution that provides tertiary education but does not have full or independent university status. A university college is often part of a larger university. The precise usage varies from country to country.” So now I realise that there is but one actual university in my country, that being the national university, and all the self-styled "universities" around the country are mere colleges. Notions!
