As I know it, and it is the system here.... A University is the global name for a collection of colleges and Schools (Not primary or high schools) but professional schools like law or medicine.

For example I work at a University, there are 5 colleges (Engineering, Science, Business, Arts and Education). There is also one school - The school of law. The colleges are then broken down onto different departments ie
College of arts is made up of history, philosophy, languages, etc
A School in the higher education sense does not contain different departments within it, rather they are global, with different specialisations within each.

In the Uk you finish school at 15 or 16 then go onto collage for 1, 2 or 3 years ( depending on the course ) then if further qualifications are needed for your vocation ,you then go on to university.

I didnt go to uni and only done alittle collage so i couldnt tell you the technical terms with out looking it up lol
