Introduction
With the passage of time, the urge to learn more has increased. Knowledge is the main distinction between human being and animal. Man is created to seek knowledge. Without knowledge, a man in this world is like a deaf and blind person, sitting purposelessly in a darkroom. God has created man, with a desire to seek this knowledge and man is obviously, curious by nature, about the things happening around him.
This is the reason that enforces human being to learn, to seek, to gain and to get answers of his question. From centuries people are in quest of learning. Good universities play a significant role in this quest.
People from past, who have graduated from high schools are trying hard to find jobs, but they have failed to do so. In today’s world, education from good universities is of vital importance. People who go through the university education gain skills in research which is a vital tool for job seeking.
History
The main idea of attending a university is the issue of academic freedom and knowledge seeking. The first institute with the name of university was, University of Bologna, found in 1088 in Italy. But if we throw some light on the medieval history of universities, we can trace Christian cathedral schools, which appeared as early as 6th century AD. They were formed years before they were formally established as a university.
After this, University of Paris was formed in 1150 in France. Oxford University was then established in 1167 in England. University of Modena was founded in Italy in 1175. In 1209 University of Cambridge was established in England and then gradually the tradition of establishing universities started formally. Through different researchers, we came to know that today the number of universities present in this world is 17036 almost.
