Motto: NVLLVS ANXIETAS.

The Bugarup University (BU) is a University for Wizards in Bugarup, and one of the top (possibly only) higher-education institution on the continent of XXXX, much the same way that the Unseen University is the top school around the Circle Sea. Bugarup University has a Dean and other faculty members, and students, and a Tower, just like Unseen University. Unlike Unseen wizards, however, Bugarup wizards seem to be somewhat more amiable and cooperative among themselves. At least, during their brief appearance in The Last Continent, they spend far less time arguing among themselves than Unseen wizards would. This is likely due to the influence of the No Worries attitude of the Ecksians. Indeed, the BU motto is "Nullus Anxietas". (Closely followed by Nulla Sheila Sanguinae)

The BU Archchancellor is Bill Rincewind. It is his opinion that he and the UU wizzard Rincewind must be at least distant cousins. Rincewind welcomes the idea. Bill seems much more fortunate than this distant cousin by having a first name and, of course, making it to the top position of a magical University.

The University building is built from corrugated iron sheets and wood like many other buildings on XXXX. The tower of the university did not look as impressive as the Unseen University's Tower of Art but it was higher at the top than at the bottom, which gave you an impressive view from the top of the low tower of corrugated iron. Following the events related in The Last Continent, the Tower may have been rebuilt since, lower and better...

It is also mentioned in Reaper Man that the wizards of Fourecks, 'who wear corks around their pointy hats and live on nothing but prawns', actually surf on the sluggish Discworld light of dawn as it rolls in from space, while it is still wild and untamed.

Annotation

Bugarup University seems like a distant relative of Monty Python's University of Walamalloo, right down to the compulsory beer-drinking (Rule Two). Rules One, Three, Five and Seven seem not to be enforced, though, although the graffiti "B Smoth is a pozza" comes as no surprise to the Faculty, who have long suspected pozza-hood in their Dean. Perhaps the nearby presence of so many militant female impersonators is a deterrent to voicing such rules openly...
