Universities in Packilvania

Packilvania has over 300 Universities. Most major cities have a University. Universities are created and administered under the authority of the national, provincial and metropolitan city governments. Public universities tend to be created in terms of an Act of Parliament by the government of the country, province or metropolitan city. All universities must receive the accreditation of the Council of Universities (Packilvanian: luMijhalis aleMadrasgur), an agency of the Department of Education (Packilvanian: LuVazeeryat aluTaleem).

There are however ancient universities which precede the current Sultanate under the Bedonite dynasty by centuries. Many of these were brought under government control during the reign of the Packilvanian Communist Party. The current regime has extended that system by putting the national, provincial and metropolitan city governments in charge of universities. Private universities must be registered with and accredited by the Council of Universities. In reality the national government has delegated almost all university creation and oversight powers except for accreditation to the provincial and metropolitan city governments. There are various associations within and between provinces for universities to coordinate activities and facilitate cooperation.

The Imperial Qualifications Framework enables a like for like comparison of university programs and courses. The government recognises five programs: Diploma (three year qualification at level 1), Bachelor's degree (three year qualification at level 2), Honour's degree (1 year qualification at level three, some four year Bachelor's degrees can be awarded at level three level), Master's degree (one to two year qualification at level four) and Doctoral degree (2 to 5 year degree at level 5).

For the sake of this list, the list of universities will be by province and metropolitan city.
