Many of the oldest universities still operating in Europe started in the 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, the church and in medicine. But higher education was only for a few people - in the UK, until nineteenth century there were still only six universities. The older universities that still exist often have good reputations, beautiful old buildings and 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 aim 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 as a 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 universities were established in the 1960s as the population grew. In Britain, many of these Warwick 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.
