In part one of a three-part mini-series on the theme of
"university", we go on a whirlwind tour of the history of
universities, from medieval student guilds in Bologna to the
modern day.
 

The University of Bologna nears its thousand-year
anniversary.

Why universities emerged: stability, trade, rediscovered
texts, Church needs.

Student guilds hired teachers; papal charters granted
privileges, recognition.

Medieval curriculum and university specialisations in law,
theology, medicine.

Renaissance humanism broadened studies beyond law and
theology.

Scientific Revolution made universities producers of new
knowledge.

Humboldt model united teaching and research in modern
universities.

Post-war expansion massified higher education around the
world.

Today: many universities, 250 million students; degrees often
required.

UK participation reaches 50%; rising costs and student debt.
