University of North Conelibek (UáNC) (Seketese: Université á Nord-Conelibek) (French:Université de Nord Conelibek) is a primarily Seketese language public research univeristy located in North Conelibek, Seketan. Originally founded in 1892 as the Royal College by the Hérvynsken as a protestant vocational school, it has grown to be one of Seketans most prestigious and historied post-secondary institutions. Since 1946, the university has reformed itself into a secular institution in 1950 and changed its name in 1951 to its current title.

UáNC is spread out amongst 3 campuses across the Greater Conelibek Area. Its main campus makes up a large part of downtown North Conelibek, situated on Lake Seketan, with a secondary campus in downtown Skensan and a tertiary campus in the Sjobalaz neighbourhood of North Conelibek. With lessons offered in French, it is one of three non-Wilsk universities in Seketan chartered to offer studies in languages other than Seketese, with the others being Unversity of Bynan-Zynybec (Trjebian) and Univeristy of Loria (Fjeskan).

UáNC offers degrees, diplomas, and doctorates in over 250 fields of study, with the highest entering grades of any Seketese university. Most students are enrolled in the five largest faculties: Arts, Science, Medicine, Education, and Law. The university is also accredited with the Seketese Armed Forces for training officers. Since 1985 it has routinely traded the top spot for a Sekna's university review with Syma Gjoske University in Sjon.

UáNC alumni include 4 Prime Ministers of Seketan, 3 Presidents of Seketan (including the current, Fyedor Alesk), and 39 current MH's, alongside the current Prime Minister of Trjebia.

Campus

Main campus

Gasken Hall, built in 1905

The universities main campus is located Yryt District, along Lake Seketan. Most of the early buildings the university occupied were part of an old 13th-century barrack and fortress, built with Romanesque architecture. During the early 20th century many Richardsonian Romanesque additions were added to the campus, including the Hijeik building, Reildor Tower, and Gasken Hall, the current student centre. After the Seketese Revolution, the campus expanded rapidly with it reaching its current size in 1937. Currently, the campus reaches Roed á Trejak in the north, down Roed á Eliark and Walygens Park in the East, then Lake Seketan to the South and West. The campus also features a beach on its southern shoreline, which is frequented by students.

Hijeik building, built in 1899 and currently the main building for the Faculty of Engineering

In the 1960's the university bought several failing hotels around the campus area and converted them into student residences. Current residencies include Yarmon House, No.2 House, and Teamar House, housing around 2,000 undergrad and graduate students.

A need for a new, modern athletic building led to the construction of Société Centre in 1981 located on the west side of the campus. The new facility included an Olympic-sized swimming pool, 2 full-sized gymnasiums, an ice hockey rink, and an attached football pitch. While the then Payjson Stadium was under renovation in the 1990s, the Conelibek Mauderers played out of the rink on the campus. The 2008 Nelbec Games partially held at the Centre, with its rink, football pitch, and gymnastic area beng the main venues for their respective events.

Skensan campus

In the 1950's UáNC expanded itself to Skensan, a community just outside North Conelibek, after acquiring the Coyral College. The two campuses exist as one university, though the Skensan campus operates with a degree of autonomy, with its athletic and academic facilities being exclusive to students from its campus. The campus also has a separate agreement with the Greater Conelibek Transit Authority, which includes reduced commuter ticket prices and free transit on Skensan buses, though doesn't include free use of the Conelibek Metro or the North Conelibek transit system.

Sjobalaz campus

In 1982 the university opened an annex campus in the northern neighbourhood of Sjobalaz to expand outreach. Unlike the main and Skensan campus, the entire campus was built from scratch, leading to the grounds having a distinctly modern design. The choice of opening a new school in the largely suburban district was made to alleviate the ever-increasing student population downtown and to grant easier access to school resources for students in the suburbs. Unlike Skensan campus, Sjobalaz is very much integrated with the UáNC, and it is not uncommon for students to split years between the two campuses.
