The University of Aalmsted is a public research university located in Aalmsted, Azmara. It was founded in 1863 after the consolidation of power by Azmara's republican government in order to open up higher education to the middle and working classes and to provide both education in the natural sciences and secular education, as opposed to the Church of Azmara-affiliated, liberal arts colleges of Sloh, Wucing and Eśensted. Upon being founded, the institution absorbed many specialised educational institutions in Aalmsted, such as the Aalmsted Technical Institute, Eleinasburg College and Free College.

The University is organised into 12 institutions which provide both education in specific subject areas and accommodation to undergraduate students, leading to it often being described as a collegiate university, with the system evolving due to the university's nature of having absorbed multiple institutions which already possessed such facilities. The university lacks a proper campus and its buildings, both central and those belonging to its member institutions, are scattered throughout the city, with most being located in the boroughs of Eleinasburg and Lilijenburg. It has the largest yearly budget of any university in Azmara, gaining almost 1 billion Euclos a year in funding.

The university currently has slightly over 25,000 students enrolled on its courses, of which 11,000 are postgraduate students. It is often considered to be the most prestigious university in Azmara, topping many national rankings, and is a member of the Aahtbund grouping of the country's top universities as well as of the ET10 grouping of elite universities in the Euclean Community. Among its graduates are 10 Thingspeakers and several prominent figures in academic, cultural, social and political spheres within Azmara.

Institutions

The University of Aalmsted consists of twelve institutions which, while regulated centrally by the university to achieve consistent standards, are largely responsible for teaching in their specific subject areas with examinations and degrees being administered by the central university authority. Institutions are also responsible for providing accommodation, either through accommodation owned by them directly or through working with landlords in the city to provide accommodation.

The origin of the system of institutions comes from the university's foundation, where the three pre-existing institutions it absorbed wished to retain a degree of autonomy over their teaching and, in the case of Eleinasburg College, had already started providing board for students from outside Aalmsted and as such in order to provide them autonomy the university was structured as a federation of then six institutions, with three being created in subject areas outside the scope of the previous institutions, each with autonomy over teaching and responsibility for education.

All but one of the institutions were created with the intention of providing education in a specific subject area, with the other institution, St. Mary's College, being created with women's education specifically in mind in 1906 and being repurposed as a college teaching humanities when the entire university was made co-educational in 1945.
