The University of Unnecessary Knowledge (UUK) is a public institution of tertiary education located in Ave Verum. UUK attracts students from across northeastern Illuminatia with advanced tertiary degree programs in the performing arts, communication arts, information and data sciences as well as secondary emphases in the arts and technology.
University of Unnecessary Knowledge pulls a significant representation of its 24,800 secondary and tertiary students from the Wolfgang Amadeus Megalopolitan Complex, including the cities of Mozart and Nachtmusik as well as Ave Verum where the school is located.
UUK collects funding for its 2,739,000μ/AU annual revenue from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment (BEE) and receives oversight from the BEE's Office of Curriculum and Programming (OCP). As with most public educational institutions, public funding accounts for nearly all of UUK's operational resources and is proportional to the number of students the university educates.
As with all public education institutions, University of Unnecessary Knowledge students enjoy a nearly 100% placement rate upon graduation thanks the Office of Assessment and Placement (OAP)'s government-assisted career matching system, which matches graduates with places of employment or other educational institutions where they map pursue research opportunities or further higher education.
Student organizations at UUK are known for organizing flash mobs that frequently take place in downtown Ave Verum. These events have become something of a tourist attraction, with visitors from across Illuminatia planning visits to the city during periods when the school is in session in hopes of experiencing one or more of these unannounced performing arts events. Prominent student leaders who successfully organize some of the more creative and novel flash mobs have been known to be offered employment with the Illuminatian Liberation Army far across northern Illuminatia in Lark Ascending, as the organization places high value on flash mob planning and execution skills.
