University of Higher Intellectual and Creative Arts and Arcane Usage

One of the oldest places of education and enlightenment in terms of intellectual, artistic and arcane fields of knowledge, bearing an immensely rich tradition behind it all. It certainly deserves its place as the "crown jewel" of the educational sphere of the whole Central Continent. a tsarist diplomat about the Unicademia

Public Agenda

Our duty is to teach, to enlighten those who place attaining knowledge as a personal value through which they can evolve as an individual. Through which they wish to shift the world around them for the better, to make peoples lives a more wonderful experience thanks to their creations that were the result of being here. It does not matter what race or worldview they have, what family or house they come from. If this single quality is achieved and proven through their loyalty to this idea, these doors will be waiting welcomingly for them. So they can put their thoughts to will - and will to deed. Taith, the Head Rector of the University

The Unicademia is one of the oldest higher educational institutions on the Central Continent, having a long and deeply-rooted tradition of teaching for the sake of creating a better world. This is indeed their primary duty and mission, one that they have been faithfully and incessantly carrying out. They strive for an apolitical and factual environment for the students, so that they can delve into the world of sciences and the arcane with a mind focused only on these very things.

It's quite wonderful that I can wake up in the morning, go for the day's lectures and then in the evening spend some time with my friends in a bar or something along those lines. And all that thanks to the fact this academia is basically a city. Erieyal about the benefits of the university premises being a literal city

The university occupies the entire Civitas Academi. In turn, it possesses all infrastructure that a normal city would have, ranging from shops with a wide selection of goods to varied services such as a barber or a restaurant (these tend to be often run by the students themselves). There are also parks and other leisure areas that the students can take advantage of during their free time.
A vital part of the city infrastructure is where the students live - the dormitories. These are organized in blocks of tenement buildings that are located nearby the main lecture halls and other buildings of the University itself.

Assets of the university as an institution itself

For a place of education to be effective it must not only possess the best equipment and materials but also the best minds to show the young souls how to use them well in their strive for knowledge. Master Prof. Iziar

The institution is the best equipped out of any on the Central Continent. Its archives possess whole copied contents of national libraries of several important Consortium members and, what is to some most surprising, partial copies of both libraries of the Tsarist National Scientific Institute and the Imperial University of Wasshielerberg under the patronage of the Kaiser. The equipment and materials used for tests, exposition or research are all bought or collected by a special division of the university administration. Additionally, these are often donated by outside scientific institutes as a token of gratitude and good spirit of cooperation, since the Unicademia widely aids these institutions by granting them skilled students as personnel.
Besides this, a vital component is the pedagogic circle that runs the whole establishment. It is widely regarded, that it consists of the most respected scholars from all continents, who are completely dedicated to their cause of teaching. This does not stray far from reality. All teachers who work in the Unicademia are all respected people of sciences and arcane, considered master specialists in their respective fields.

History

To search for the beginning of the Unicademia, one must delve into the history of education and the transfer of knowledge as a whole, as it is there that he may find the answer he seeks. Master prof. Agapios Ignosi, historian of Thalassian origins, teacher at the Unicademia

The memories of the time I have spent here in my youth are those I hold very close to my heart. It is from them, these dear past moments of my life, that I got my dedication to one day work here myself and contribute to the history of this place. Hah, who were I to know back then, that one day, I will not only work here but be the Head Rector himself! Taith, Archmage and current Head Rector

Everything there is incredible. The passionate teachers, the students who are all amazing people with great ambitions and the atmosphere of learning, the old ways of thinking meet the modern ways of going about everything - from architecture to our daily routines. I would never, ever, exchange the time I have spent there for anything in the world. It not only helped me forge who I am today but also granted me friends that I can rely upon at all times. And to it all, it also gave me a chance to meet the most wonderful woman in the world. Flaurien of the Vilfry, a master technician and graduate of the Uniacademia, speaking about the university and its impact on his life
