Vocabulary
schools, departments, colleges and faculties in a university

00 Can anyone help me with explaning the differences between "schools", "departments", "colleges" and "faculties" as academic units in a university? It seems that they are used differently in the US, British, and Australian universities. In most dictionaries, they don't specifically discriminate these constituent units on the explanation of the meaning. Sometimes, schools can mean departments. But, it also varies in different unversities. Is there a subordinate relation between these units? For instance, schools and departments constitute faculties? 02 br

However, additionally, it differs in various universities. Can there be the subordinate connection in between these types of models? For example, colleges as well as sections amount to ability?
