In the [[United States]], the word college is usually used to refer to university. However, in the [[United Kingdom]] and some former British territories, the word may used to denote a school for post-secondary, but non-degree education, defined as Further Education. Many UK secondary school students will go to a college (a Sixth Form College or a College of Further Education)after the age of 16, to study academic, business or vocational subjects up to pre-university level.
