Those of us who aren't cheating or spending thousands of dollars worth of crowns have a long road ahead of us with the new university. There are five Great Leaders (with another one "Coming Soon"), each with 100 levels of upgrades. I'm still waiting for my university to build, so maybe this is a bit premature, but I want to hit the ground running when it does. This video shows all of the various upgrades, including the "capstone" upgrades for researching all 100 levels from a given leader. The key stumbling block is that university research requires workers to conduct. So far the ones I've seen in the video take 3 each, but it's possible higher-tier upgrades take more.
The takeaway for me is that the way to go is to focus like a laser on King Sejong's tree, since his capstone ability is to reduce the number of workers required to research university upgrades by one. That will save many days worth of worker-hours while you research the other 400 levels of upgrades from other Great Leaders (minus any you happen to get while you are maxing out King Sejong, since apparently if you have enough workers available you can research upgrades from multiple leaders at once). The other capstone ability of note if you are looking to spend as little time researching as you can is Leonardo da Vinci's, which reduces the time required to research university upgrades. The reduction is only 10%, so this seems way lower-priority than Sejong's (despite with the robot voice in the video says). Who knows how long the upper-tier upgrades take, though. :/
