College ist ein allgemeiner Oberbegriff für höhere Bildungsinstitute. In Großbritannien kann er sich auf Einrichtungen beziehen, in denen man in einzelnen Fachbereichen, wie Kunst oder Musik, einen Hochschulabschluss erwerben kann, aber ebenso auf Schulen ohne weiteren Abschluss, z. B. für Sekretärinnen oder Friseure. Einige britische Universitäten, darunter Oxford und Cambridge, setzen sich aus Colleges zusammen. In diesen collegiate universities sorgen die Colleges für die Unterbringung und Ausbildung der Studenten, auch wenn die Universität dann die Abschlüsse verleiht. Zu den bekanntesten Colleges zählen wohl das King's College in Cambridge und das Magdalen College in Oxford. In den USA werden die Universitäten in Verwaltungseinheiten unterteilt, die als Colleges bezeichnet werden: zum Beispiel das "College of Arts and Sciences" oder das "College of Medicine". Graduate schools, die normalerweise Teil einer Universität sind, bieten auf dem bachelor aufbauende Studiengänge zur weiteren Spezialisierung an. Junior oder community colleges sind Institute, an denen man nach zweijähriger Studienzeit einen berufsbezogenen Abschluss machen kann sie bieten auch Weiterbildungen für Berufstätige an See: → DEGREE, OXBRIDGE

Houses of Parliament

Die zwei Häuser des britischen Parlaments: House of Commons und House of Lords. Der Westminster Palace (Westminsterpalast), der Gebäudekomplex im Zentrum von London, wo beide Häuser untergebracht sind, ist auch als Houses of Parliament bekannt

House of Commons

Eines der zwei Häuser der britischen Houses of Parliament, das Unterhaus des britischen Parlaments. Die gewählten Members of Parliament treten hier zusammen, um innen- und außenpolitische Themen zu debattieren und über Gesetzesvorschläge abzustimmen.

House of Lords

Eines der zwei Häuser der britischen Houses of Parliament, das Oberhaus des britischen Parlaments. Seine Mitglieder werden nicht gewählt, sondern haben als Peers (Adelige), durch Geburt, Amt oder Erhebung in den Adelsstand, ein Anrecht auf einen Sitz im Oberhaus. Aufgrund entsprehender Reformbestrebungen ist es wahrscheinlich, dass der Anspruch der erblichen Peers auf Sitz und Stimme im Oberhaus abgeschafft werden wird. Das House of Lords hat die Aufgabe, Gesetze, die vom House of Commons verabschiedet wurden, zu diskutieren und sie entweder anzunehmen oder Änderungen vorzuschlagen. Allerdings hat es nur noch die Macht, Gesetze zu verzögern und bei Etat-Vorlagen hat es überhaupt kein Mitspracherecht mehr. Das House of Lords fungiert auch als oberstes Gericht in Großbritannien.
