Morphology
university + of + Wisconsin–Madison
The meaning 'a university located in Madison, Wisconsin' is directly and compositionally derived from 'university' (an institution that grants degrees) combined with the locative construction 'of' plus the place name 'Wisconsin–Madison'. This is a conventional institutional naming pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words and place name will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
University of Wisconsin–Madison gets its name from where it is: it is the state University of Wisconsin and sits in the city of Madison, a city 'named after' U.S. president James Madison. Because it was set up as the main public university for the state in that city, the name now stands for a large public university known for teaching and research.
