Working In A College Or University

[ClinkatyClank]

Is this classed as working in the public sector ?

[atalanta]

If the college or university takes public money, ( grants, etc ) it's public sector. Most colleges are, but a few ( such as crammers ) are not. Some colleges are entirely private - such as colleges belonging to large enterprises where they train their own staff.

[EDDIE51]

'Public sector' is normally taken to mean councils, NHS, government (both local and national).
Schools /University/ college is more often described as ' the Education sector'.
No hard and fast rule though.

The answer is normally yes, but the answer you need may depend on why you are asking

[ClinkatyClank]

What is someone works in funding department of a college and someone works in clinical trials at a medical campus and a University - would this person be classed as working in public sector ?

[Prudie]

I'd say yes if their wages are paid by Government rather than private money. That's my understanding anyway.
