The University or Academy of Oxenfurt is a bastion of education. Its main academic rival is the Imperial Academy in Nilfgaard.

Among its more famous alumni are Shani and Dandelion. The former went on to become the dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Herbology, while the latter studied the seven liberal arts, graduating summa cum laude honors. He went on to lecture at the institution many years after his departure as a student. The witcher Geralt also attended some lectures at the university, such as astronomy.

One of its achievements was the renovated elven aqueduct, which served as an experimental sewage treatment plant, of dubious reputation.
