Hey, it's me again!

I have a question. Are there magical universities? Or, say, something like a university for further studies into, say, Potions or Charms? Is there a wizarding equivalent to getting a phd?

I always assumed that NEWTs are something like higher education for wizards since they can now focus in-depth on the subjects that interest them. I have also referenced academies on magical art in both Christobal and Marcus' apps and assumed that they were like an art school/art degree for characters interested in the arts.

I'm mainly asking because I'm interested in Seneca getting into the academic world, especially as she grows older. What would Sen need to do to be considered an academic in those circles? Publish something in scientific journals? Get a "degree"? Are her NEWTs the equivalent of having a bachelor degree in the subjects she's taking?

Is there a scientific board that gets to assess whether Seneca's potential research paper is legit or not? Maybe the Dept. of Magical Education takes care of these things?
