The University of Lenovo (Tengarian: Университет на леново or Universitet na Lenovo) is a public collegiate University in Lenovo, Tengaria. Founded in 1392 by Emperor Saint Vasil the Great, it is the oldest university in Tengaria, the oldest university in Western Euclea, and one of the oldest surviving and continiously operating universities in the world.

The University of Lenovo is divided into 23 constituent colleges, divided by sex into 13 colleges for men, 10 for women, although they are closely controlled by the central administration. There is no central campus, but each college and the administrative buildings are spread throughout the older districts of the city of Lenovo. As the foremost example of Tengaria's unique system of education, it has many unique and features which distinguish it from other universities. The three-year Undergraduate education, called simply "University", is meant to be a rigorous introduction to the intellectual and contemplative life, with every student taking the same courses, and with discussions on the texts of the great books. The University also offers a modified undergraduate for foreign students. The University is also the foremost source of Postgraduate education in Tengaria, which are more niche and specialized study than the undergraduate level, and the school has a larger postgraduate population than undergraduate. The school is most well known for its comprehensive Philsophy and Theology programs, and is considered one the leading universities on Xenagoras and Teleological Philosophy and Episemialist Theology.

The university was founded during the Iconoclast crisis, and was a fundamental intellectual centre and driving force in the Tengarian Renaissance. It remained the primary centre of learning in Western Euclea until it declined and was overshadowed by Soravian institutions in the mid-seventeenth century. The University underwent significant academic reform under the reign of Simeon Kovachev, reordering its academic focus to the ideals of Znaniya school. It has consistently been considered the most prestigious University in Tengaria, and the centre of its academic development. The school maintains strict standards on enrollment and upon its teaching faculty. It also has many famous alumni and notable teachers, particularly in the fields of philosophy and theology, as well as many of Tengaria's leading academics.

Organisation

Colleges

The University of Lenovo, as a collegiate university, is divided in 23 Colleges, each of which are unique and have unique traditions and benefits which they offer to their students, but are all heavily guided and watched over by the central administration. All students are required to be members of a College, and once assigned, most students are bound to that college for the duration of their education. The tutors of the university are also required to be members of a certain college, and many have rooms to live in each of the colleges. The students are given rooms and have a common meal hall, and each college provides students with various kinds of activities for the students. Whereas most universities have integrated men and women together, the colleges remain seperated by sex. Since the colleges do not determine the classes, however, men and women do study together, but are barred from cohabitating with members of the opposite sex. In addition, there are several colleges which are set aside for students and faculty from outside Tengaria, known as the "international colleges". There are 13 all-male colleges, three of which are international colleges, and 10 all-female colleges, two of which are international colleges.
