technical university
Applied sciences institution
A technical university is an institution of higher education focused on engineering, applied sciences, and technology rather than liberal arts or humanities.
Programs emphasize practical training alongside theory: She studied mechanical engineering at a technical university in Munich.
The term is more common in European contexts; American equivalents include institutes of technology.
