Which Are the Oldest Universities in Europe?

[Campus reveiw]

Europe's university history includes institutions founded during the medieval period and still operating today.

Bologna, Oxford, Cambridge, Salamanca, Padua and Coimbra are among the best-known examples. The wider list also includes historic universities in Central Europe, Germany, Austria, Poland and Scotland.



One important point when comparing universities by age is that historical records may use different dates for teaching activity, formal foundation, recognition or institutional continuity.

The Campus Review's guide brings these institutions together in one overview.
