I believe the answer is:

uni

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'study centre' is the first definition.
(university)

'curtailed part of course' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uni that I've seen before include "educational establishment" , "Reading is one" , "Short for university" , "University (abbreviation)" , "Queen's, Belfast, for example" .)
