Yes, college is lower than university. There is generally one university and two colleges.

Related differences:

First of all, the size of students is different:

1. University: The number of full-time students is more than 8,000, and the number of graduate students is not less than 5% of the total number of full-time students.

2. College: The number of full-time students should be more than 5,000.

Second, the theme coverage is different:

1, University:

The general undergraduate majors in the major disciplines of a university should be able to cover more than three first-level disciplines in this discipline. The full-time undergraduate students in each major discipline should be no less than 15% of the total number of full-time undergraduate students in this school, and there should be at least two master's degree awarding points. The total number of general undergraduate majors in this school should be more than 20.

2. College:

Extended data

Universities not only cultivate higher education talents, but also engage in related scientific experiments. Regular full-time national universities have both junior college students and undergraduates. College majors train professionals who specialize in research, while undergraduate majors train generalists. After completing the undergraduate course, you can graduate with a master's degree or a doctor's degree, or you can continue to study for a master's degree or a doctor's degree ("double doctor's certificate" will be issued after graduation).

As an educational institution, it not only teaches and educates people, but also conducts research. Doing research is the difference between universities and primary and secondary schools. Only undergraduate and postgraduate degrees will be awarded.
