Many of the oldest universities still operating in Europe started in 1500s with several universities

older than that. The Universities of Bologna (established 1088) and Paris (established 1208) were two of the

first higher education institutions. The purpose of these early universities was to train people to do

professional jobs in law – in the UK, until nineteen century there were still only six universities. The older

universities that still exist often have good

reputations, beautiful old buildingand traditions that are

hundreds of years old.

When the industrial revolution occurred in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, higher education

changed too – universities needed to teach students to question and think. In Germany, the aims of

universities was to teach students about the process of learning and discovery and this idea spread across

European universities. In the UK, a number of universities were established asa result of the industrial

revolution – these universities were generically established in major industrial centres such as Birmingham

and Manchester. The German higher education model emphasized freedom, but women still not allowed

into university.

This

changed in the mid-nineteenth century when several allowed women to join.

A number of universitieswere established in the 1960s as the population grew. In Britain, many of

these Wawick and York – were built on their own campuses. Now universities are changing again. The

knowledge economy and increasingly interconnected world are shaping education. The knowledge economy

is the economic benefits that come from research and ideas – especially when these ideas become part of

business. Studies and communication are important elements of this. The knowledge economy does not

have borders and because of this many universities are becoming increasingly international.
