The Libertad University (Martino: Universitad de Libertad) is a public research university located in the city of Nuevo Corcovado, the capital of the Region of Islas de la Libertad, Nouvelle Alexandrie. It was founded in 1726 AN to establish a higher education facility on the Isles, creating opportunities for local residents and offering tertiary education. It currently stands as the smallest university in Nouvelle Alexandrie in terms of both attendance and budget.
History
The Libertad University was established in 1726 AN by the Department of Education, Sports, and Culture in conjunction with the Islas de la Libertad Council, in order to create an institute for tertiary education in the region, which was lagging behind even Isles of Caputia and New Luthoria. Since its founding, it has been a major contributor to the island economy, especially closely related to the Tourism industry. It has only three faculties, with the majority of students involved in Economics.
Academics
The Libertad University is organised into three faculties and offers a diverse ange of academic programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. The faculties include:
- Faculty of Economics
- Faculty of Science
- Faculty of Education
Research
Libertad University has a modest research program, mostly dedicated to marine biology. It has often partnered with both New Luthoria University and the University of the Isles to pool resources for research and innovation.
Campus
Libertad University is located at Plaza de la Universidad, and has only one facility, the University Building. There is a minor dormitory for on-campus housing. There is a dedicated bus stop in front of the Plaza.
