The University of Fresia is one of the few universities in Fresia and located in the de-facto Fresian capital of Gallenfeld. It is supported through gifts, tuition, and the Fresian Council of Princes.
History
Around 200 FI, some of the more worldly members of the Council of Princes raised concern at the lack of higher learning institutions in Fresia. The smaller institutes scattered throughout the duchies were primarily church-funded and thus more tailored in the training of clerics and other Alexandrian church professions. The Council agreed to establish a central, slightly more secular university and formed the University of Fresia.
In order to attract students from more prosperous areas, specifically from Gildenhome in the north, the University commissioned a variety of smiths and artisans to apprentice their trade at the university- giving it a more practical spin than the usually pedantic offerings at other universities.
Areas of Study
When a student enters the University, he or she chooses either the Journeyman's or Bachelor's degree program. Both programs take about roughly six years and all students within their degree program have the same required courses. As the Journeyman's degree focuses primarily on apprenticeship of a particular craft, there are far less formal courses.
Journeyman's Degree
This is essentially an advanced apprenticeship program. The most common apprenticeship is that of a smith or metalworker, hence the school's mascot being the blacksmith. Students are apprenticed under a master and receive most of the training there. It differs from the common practice of apprenticeship by also requiring courses pertinent to the apprenticeship. The subjects are arithmetic, metallurgy, and crafting.
Bachelor's Degree
This is a general education program consisting of set subjects: arithmetic, religion, astronomy, art, grammar, logic, and rhetoric. For those planning on continuing into clerical arts, there may be a stronger emphasis on religion while those planning on continuing into arcane arts may have a stronger emphasis on logic or astronomy.
