List of universities in Zigala

This is a list of universities in Zigala.

National Academy
There is currently one officially recognized Zigalese, the Academiae Occidentis. It is nominally tasked with coordinating and liaising between the different academic societies and disciplines in Zigala, supporting research activities in a wide variety of disciplines ranging from mathematical and physical sciences, to life sciences, and to humanities and social sciences. Research and advisory work conducted by the academy has greatly influenced Zigalese domestic policy since the latter half of the 20th century, to the point that it has been recognized as the "second arm" of the Zigalese legislation deliberation process, next to the legislature itself.

The academy is also responsible for granting postgraduate degrees and PhD training and scholarship in the fields listed below.

Imperial Universities
Imperial universities (Đại học Hoàng gia) are a special type of state-funded public university, as recognized by the Zigalese Ministry of Education and Training. They are degree-awarding institutions, exclusively operated by the Zigalese government, that offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in a wide range of fields and disciplines. Graduates of the Imperial Universities have been used to fill the Zigalese civil service and certain state-owned industries, and as such matriculation is considered highly coveted and prestigious.

Military Academies
State-operated academies where students receive a military education and upon graduation, or where already commissioned officers receive ongoing staff education. Zigala does not consider its military to be separate from the civilian government (in a way that renders the former entirely subserviant to the latter), and as such the military academies are normally treated the same as all other Imperial Universities. This list makes a distinction for categorization's sake.
