− | The Collegium (location 32) was originally founded in 1762 as a seminary for young Ulrican priests, and the Department of Holy and Scriptural Studies (DHSS) is still the largest faculty. Nevertheless, nowadays the Collegium offers as wide a range of subjects as any university, even though it still technically doesn't have an imperial charter granting it university status. Certainly, it considers itself the equal of the University of Altdorf. The Collegium's library is the largest in Middenheim, with excellent collections on history and law and, of course, of Ulrican religious writings | + | The Collegium (location 32) was originally founded in 1762 as a seminary for young Ulrican priests, and the Department of Holy and Scriptural Studies (DHSS) is still the largest faculty.

The legal status of the Collegium is unclear. It runs its own court system (including a small Watch and a comfortable jail) under the auspices of the Law Department. Trials are presided over by the elderly Chancellor, Lienhard von Altenhaus, the Dean of the DHSS and a representative of the cult of Ulric, but according to an arrangement that applies to every university in the Empire, the court ultimately defers to the University of Altdorf. This is potentially problematic since the Collegium's Law Department is Ulrican and also heavily involved with the Temple of Verena, whereas Altdorf's is Sigmarite with strong links to the cult of Solkan. In addition, because of the lack of an imperial charter, the Worshipful Guild of Legalists claims that the Collegium is not a university and therefore falls under civil law. | The legal status of the Collegium is unclear.
