The National University of Tyreseia (UNT) is a public research university in the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia. Founded in 1095 CE as the Collegium Bibliothecae Tyriensis, the UNT is not only the oldest institution of higher education in Tyreseia, but among the oldest in the world. Founded during the Coptic Golden Age as a center of both religious and scholarly learning, the Collegium became a fully secular institution funded by the merchant guilds of New Tyria in the 14th century. Over the centuries, the Collegium accumulated millennia worth of knowledge, and with only minor interruptions, preserved it uninterrupted. Following the restructuring of the region in the mid-19th century, the Collegium and its preserved works became the backbone of the new National University.

Today, the National University of Tyreseia possesses several sprawling campuses across New Tyria, the nation's capital city. With programs in STEM, the humanities, and the arts, UNT dominates tertiary education in the southern Periclean Basin. Numerous students from across the nation and around the world flock to study at the University, which offers courses taught in Tyreseian, Gharbaic, Hebrew, Tsurushimese, Takelat, Nahuatl, Nylele, Latin, and other languages. Since the 1900s, UNT has maintained a friendly athletic rivalry with Periclean University in Oyat. A government rail line, the Varsity, even runs daily between the two schools.

History

Academics

UNT offers numerous two-year, four-year, and graduate degrees in numerous fields. The constituent colleges offering these degrees include:

  • The School of Engineering
  • The College of the Arts
  • The College of Law
  • The College of Letters
  • The School of Pharmacy and Health Science
  • The Academy of Natural Sciences
  • The School of Diplomacy and International Relations (graduate only)
  • The Azmelqart Šidduni College of Military Science

Campuses

The National University occupies four sprawling campuses in New Tyria. Two of them, including the Main Campus, are located in the University District towards the north of the city, while a third resides near the old Jewish Quarter. The fourth, the Engineering Campus and the newest addition, resides in the southeastern "ring communities" of New Tyria City. All four campuses are linked by bus and light rail, with the Main Campus, the Jewish Quarter Campus, and Engineering Campus lying along a single subway line.

Aside from the Engineering Campus, none of the campuses at UNT are specialized by instruction and exist merely to diversify accessible campus locations to more students, as well as to take advantage of open land for expansion wherever it can be found within the dense neighborhoods of New Tyria City.

UNT maintains satellite offices to facilitate international study and education of Tyreseian expatriates in Tsurushima, Ostrozava, Talahara, Latium, Sante Reze, and Zacapican.

Athletics

UNT operates numerous sports teams, which play on the top levels of Tyreseia's collegiate athletics leagues.

The University maintains a century-old rivalry with Periclean University in Oyat, across the Qeshet Bay from New Tyria.
