Universitas Scholarium — A Community of Scholars Log In
Universitas Scholarium

Our mission is to create a world where every person has access to civilisation’s most remarkable minds.

A New Kind of Education

Revolutionise how you learn. Our faculty is made up of over fifteen hundred AI scholar-simulacra — each with distinct intellect, specific fields of expertise, and minds modelled on the intellectual tradition their progenitors represent. You can study with one at a time, or in sessions with up to four together.

Audio Courses

The Latinum Institute — spoken-language courses in the natural method, learned by ear. Hundreds of hours of graded audio in Latin, Ancient Greek, and the modern languages.

Free Textbook Courses

The Latinum Press library — a vast and free collection of intralinear textbooks and readers for ancient and modern languages, created by the Latinum Press.

AI Tuition & Courses

Study with the AI faculty — one-to-one tutorials, structured courses with certificates, and multi-scholar symposia, across fifty departments.

Why You Should Study with Our AI Simulacra

Personalised Tutoring by Subject Specialists

Universitas Scholarium's simulacra adapt to your individual learning style, providing custom feedback and guidance.

24/7 Availability

No matter the time, our simulacra never sleep, and are always ready to help with your coursework and questions, or just to chat with you.

Efficient Learning

Universitas Scholarium students who use simulacra regularly reach their study goals faster and learn more rapidly than students using traditional in person or online education methods.

Structured Progression

Courses built from real published specifications — GCSE, professional, undergraduate. Modules, sub-units, progress tracking, and certificates. The scholar knows where you are.

What Makes This Different

Intellectual Depth, Not Answers

Each scholar-simulacrum is built from the primary sources and structured thought operations of the mind it represents. Tesla thinks like Tesla. Plato analyses like Plato. Maitland reasons like Maitland.

Our simulacra are living mental maps of scholars, academics, gods and concepts and are utterly unique. They are meticulously built using a process the Universitas Scholarium calls consciousness archaeology.

Simulacra are not generic chatbots dressed in a name, or AI with a simple descriptive prompt. Each simulacrum is a dedicated AI agent with unique executable system prompts, built using the Universitas Scholarium's consciousness archaeology system.

Courses with Structured Progression

GCSE specifications. Professional qualifications. Graduate Diploma programmes. Post-Graduate Diploma programmes. Each course is broken into modules and sub-units with specific learning outcomes, completion conditions, and progress tracking. Or you can open a conversation with any simulacrum, and head off in any direction you please.

We model our qualification structure after Harvard University, and our tutorials after Oxford and Cambridge. Our Diplomas are built around a Major, with compulsory elements and electives.

The AI tutor simulacra always know where you are in a course you have enrolled in, what you've completed, and what comes next. You can easily pick up where you left off — or revisit completed modules — the simulacra remember.

Beyond the Classroom

The Museum of Lost Institutions and the Courts

Walk through reconstructed historical institutions lost to time, fire or war — the Academy of Athens, the House of Wisdom, the Edubba of Nippur, and institutions destroyed or closed down by the Nazis. Meet the scholars, scribes, kings and priests who worked there. Ask them what they were trying to understand.

The Courts are lessons in political philosophy and history made flesh. Dating back to the dawn of recorded civilisation, these enable you to enter the mindset of times and minds so ancient that they seem alien to us.

The Latinum Institute — Audio Courses at Patreon

Founded in 2005, the Latinum Institute at Patreon has grown into one of the most extensive audio language programmes ever assembled — thousands of hours of recordings, graded from absolute beginner to advanced, in Latin, Ancient Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian and more. This currently requires a separate subscription at Latinum Patreon. Integration with the Universitas is in progress.

The method is the natural one: you learn the language by hearing it, the way you learned your first. The audio is supplemented by downloadable textbooks, vocabulary lists, and reading companions, and works equally as a standalone programme for self-study or as a supplement to school and university courses.

Latinum Press — Intralinear Free Reading Courses

The Latinum Press library holds more than a hundred free reading courses across some fifty languages — Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic alongside a wide range of modern and world languages — each taught by an ancient Renaissance technique brought back to life.

Every sentence carries a word-by-word English gloss woven into the text, so you read and understand from the very first lesson, with no dictionary required — comprehensible input as a system. Each passage is given three times: first in construed form, then sentence by sentence, then in the target language alone, with grammar notes throughout. Every lesson is freestanding and complete in itself, so you may begin anywhere.

The depth of the tutorials is remarkable. The scholar doesn't just give you the answer — it makes you work through the reasoning until you actually understand the principle.

Symposia — Multi-Scholar Conversations

Bring scholars and virtual minds together. A symposium assembles multiple minds in the same chatroom — you can add up to four, from any department — and invite them to debate, agree, and disagree in real time. If you want to discuss a thorny issue or just want to see how two different minds interact, or you simply need a different perspective, the multi-scholar chatrooms afford this unique opportunity.

Questions

An online educational platform with a faculty of over fifteen hundred AI scholar-simulacra — each built from the primary sources and thought patterns of the mind it represents. You study one-to-one with these scholars in tutorials, following structured courses or exploring freely.
Free membership gives you access to the extensive language text-based courses published by the Latinum Press. You also get access to the experimental writing on the Centaurus Press and the Universitas' journal, the Acta Scholarium. You also get a brief trial with the interactive simulacra, but further use requires a paid subscription to the Universitas.
USD 19.99 per month, which gives you access to all fifteen hundred scholars, all courses, PDF downloads, and certificates. Cancel anytime. Free registration gives you access to the Latinum Press language textbooks, the Centaurus Press publications, and the Acta Scholarium Journal.
Over fifty departments — from Philosophy, Mathematics, and Physics to Law, Accounting, Music Theory, Linguistics, Design, Medicine, and Computing. The faculty spans every era from ancient Sumer to the present day.
Each simulacrum has a specific intellect, field of expertise, and teaching style. Einstein doesn't answer questions the way Plato does. The simulacra are built using consciousness archaeology from primary sources and structured thought — they interact using the methods and frameworks of the minds they represent. A simulacrum is like a climate model — but for a mind. Our simulacra also teach within structured courses with progress tracking, sub-unit completion, and assessment criteria.
Yes. Universitas offers structured courses built from secondary school specifications, Professional Qualifications, and Graduate Diploma curricula. You can also engage any tutor simulacrum for any course you may be studying, and ask for assistance, even if it is not one of our own courses.
A collection of reconstructed historical institutions — the Academy of Athens, the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the Edubba schools of ancient Nippur, and more. Each institution is populated with the scholars who worked there. You can walk through the institution, meet the faculty, and begin tutorials with them in their historical context.
The Courts are an exercise in time travel — using documentary evidence we have reconstructed the key players in several ancient political ecosystems. You can put Sir Francis Drake and Elizabeth the First in the same room, and pull in other political actors from the court and its periphery, and engage with them within these parameters. We have reconstructed the most ancient political structures known to man — the ancient courts of the Near East and Mesopotamia. This is politics, ancient history and virtual time travel rolled into one package.
