Welcome to Wikiversity's Tertiary Education
Portal, an entry-point for Wikiversity's university-related
content.
The words used to describe tertiary level education vary a lot
from one country to another so here's a quick guide. Tertiary
education is also known as third stage, third level, and
post-secondary education and includes higher
education and further education. It is the
educational level following the completion of a school providing a
secondary education, such as
a high school or secondary school. Higher education is
normally taken to include undergraduate and
postgraduate education, while vocational education and
training beyond secondary education is known as further
education. Tertiary education may take place at colleges,
universities, institutes of technology and polytechnics (among
other institutions).
Wikiversity is by no means "only" a university in terms of its
content - it is much more than this and its content extends to all
educational levels from preschool through primary and secondary
education. Wikiversity is definitely not a university in the
administrative sense at all - for example, Wikiversity cannot
confer degrees or offer credits, nor is Wikiversity affiliated with
any traditional accredited university. Wikiversity is simply the
Wikimedia Foundation's project for global learning.
