Università - Inglese Britannico e Americano
Che differenza c’è tra college e university? Scoprilo leggendo la lezione di oggi.
In Britain, the word college is used to refer to a number of educational institutions: public schools for children (e.g. Eton), sixth form schools which are attended by students aged between 16 and 18, and universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, which consist of a federation of colleges.
In the United States, the word college is used to refer to smaller institutions which only grant bachelor’s or associate’s degrees (diplomi universitari, lauree di primo livello).
Institutions of higher education which consist of different faculties and offer several higher degree courses are called universities.
However, in everyday language, Americans say “go to college” or “go to school” even if they are referring to university.
This is why confusion may arise between British and American English.
