polytechnic
Applied sciences school
Polytechnic describes an educational institution offering instruction in many technical arts and applied sciences, or serves as a noun for such a school.
In British usage, polytechnics were institutions that granted degrees in practical and vocational subjects, distinct from traditional universities, though most were later redesignated as universities.
The term emphasizes breadth across multiple technical disciplines rather than specialization in one.
She studied engineering at the local polytechnic.
