university systems

University systems broadly refer to the structured networks of higher education institutions that provide advanced learning, research opportunities, and professional training. Typically comprising colleges, universities, and technical schools, these systems vary by country in organization and governance. They often include undergraduate and graduate programs, with degrees such as bachelor's, master's, and doctorates. Universities may be public (funded by the government) or private (independently funded). The systems aim to enhance knowledge, foster innovation, and equip students with skills for careers, contributing to economic growth and societal development.
