What is the largest university in the world?

[Campus reveiw]

The term largest university can mean different things. It could refer to campus area, number of campuses, academic programmes or student enrollment.

When measured by enrollment, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is widely regarded as one of the world's largest universities.

IGNOU was established in 1985 and focuses heavily on open and distance learning. Its education model allows students to pursue programmes without needing to attend a conventional residential campus.



The broader list of the world's largest universities includes institutions that use different models, such as:

Open universities
Distance-learning institutions
Multi-campus universities
Affiliated college systems
Large public university networks

This makes the comparison particularly interesting for students researching higher education and study abroad opportunities.

A university's enrollment is only one factor, however. Students should also consider accreditation, course availability, tuition fees, teaching quality, location and graduate career opportunities.
