A université is a higher education institution that offers a wide range of academic programs and degrees. It is typically larger in size and more diverse in terms of student population compared to other types of higher education institutions.
Think of a université as a big shopping mall with multiple stores offering different products. Just like how you can find various shops in a mall, a université provides different academic programs for students to choose from.
