University of Necessary Knowledge (UNK) is a public institution of quaternary education located in Ave Maria. UNK offers continuing, advanced, and specialty degrees chiefly in the areas of the social sciences and organizational arts and sciences.

University of Necessary Knowledge caters to students of an elder chronology who seek to satisfy necessities of continuing education and enlightenment, per Bureau of Education and Enlightenment standards which specify that adults beyond a certain age must take part in periodic ongoing education in order to maintain an up-to-date knowledge of the world. Therefore, while also offering basic secondary education, the primary mission of the university is to educate those who have already acquired secondary and tertiary credentials but have done so less recently than 30 AU prior. UNK prides itself in helping its pupils synthesize necessary information into knowledge that is quite essential for continuing their roles in a rapidly changing society.

University of Necessary Knowledge attracts students primarily from the region of Illuminatia found northwest of the Lucidian Range, drawing a significant enrollment from residents of the Amadeus river valley. Its retreat-style campus appeals to students who wish to get away from their everyday responsibilities for an extended period of time so that they can focus on their continuing education. Total enrollment averages 31,470 students.

As with most public educational institutions, public funding from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment accounts for nearly all of UNK's funding. However in the case of UNK as a provider of continuing education for mature learners, auxiliary funding for attendees is frequently provided by students' employers. Students can also apply for augmentative education funding from the local government where they live; they can use this funding to subsidize an enhanced educational experience.
