Universities in the modern sense originated from Christian schools and seminaries in Europe. The earliest universities were Paris University and Bologna University.

The University of Paris, formerly known as the Sorbonne Theological Seminary affiliated to Notre Dame de Paris, was founded at the end of the 9th century, and its scale has been expanding day by day. Although theology is still its core teaching content, its teaching content has been extended to literature, law and medicine. 1 180, the French emperor Louis VII officially awarded the title of "University".

After the establishment of the University of Paris, universities in other parts of Europe have also been established. Paris University is known as the mother of world universities, among which Oxford University, Cambridge University and Pisa University are famous.
