I believe the answer is:

polytechnic

(Other definitions for polytechnic that I've seen before include "Higher education establishment" , "Higher education institution (mainly before nineteen ninety two)" , "Former type of college" , "Predecessor of modern university" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
