02Our universitySince 12,000 BC

Humanity is still the subject we haven’t passed.

For thousands of years, Universitas Intergalactica has trained researchers, explorers and specialists in other forms of life.

From our Earth Campus we study human anatomy, customs and behaviour. We have learned a great deal. Some of it worries us.
