University of Excess Knowledge (UEK) is a public institution of tertiary education located in Lark Ascending. UEK offers secondary and tertiary degrees chiefly in the geological and Neonisian sciences.
University of Excess Knowledge is lauded for its academic strengths in the climatic and meteorological sciences, hydrological engineering, and cartography. Students are attracted from throughout the Anglo-Russo-Hungarian Megalopolitan Complex to UEK for secondary degrees generalizing in geology and the Neonisian sciences—that being the geological and life sciences pertaining specifically to the Neonisi planet. The university's advanced tertiary degrees fulfill a developing economic specialty relating to the sciences focused on exploring the exotic wonders of the unfamiliar world of Illuminatia and the planet that the continent inhabits.
Total enrollment at University of Excess Knowledge has surpassed 37,680 students, with a preponderance of those students originating from Illuminatia's north. UEK receives funding from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment (BEE) and oversight from the BEE's Office of Curriculum and Programming. As with most public educational institutions, public funding accounts for nearly all of UEK's operational resources. The university's annual revenue stands at about 4,144,650μ annually.
UEK is well-suited to the cultural environment of the Lark Ascending metropolitan area, where the popular propensity is to possess a sense of admiration and curiosity toward the natural environment of Illuminatia—particularly the geography, geology, and topology of the Neonisi ecosphere. The university supplies a steady stream of budding cartographers for Lark Ascending's prospering niche mapmaking industry.
As with all public education institutions, University of Excess Knowledge students enjoy a nearly 100% placement rate upon graduation thanks to a government-assisted matching system administered by the BEE's Office of Assessment and Placement. UEK is well-represented in the workforce of the Department of Climate and Meteorology (DCM), which is based elsewhere in Illuminatia.
