A university/college, known as an ordinary institution of higher learning, is a cultural institution with unique functions. It is an institution of higher learning that inherits, studies, integrates and innovates advanced academic knowledge, and is interrelated with social, economic and political institutions.
It is not only the product of the development of human culture to a certain stage, but also a unique university culture gradually formed on the basis of long-term school-running practice through historical accumulation, self-efforts and the influence of external environment.
Universities have a history of thousands of years, which can be traced back to its birth, mainly from Germany, Britain and other countries.

University origin
Modern universities directly originated from European medieval universities in 12 and 13 centuries. Ancient Egypt, India and China are all the cradles of higher education, and ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium and Arab countries have established relatively perfect and developed higher education systems. ?
Although many educational historians call these local institutions of higher learning universities, strictly speaking, they are not real universities.
1088, Italy established the first regular university-Bologna University, which is the most famous research center of Roman law in Europe (also known as "parent university", student university). Subsequently, universities appeared all over Europe.
The University of Paris evolved from the school affiliated to Notre Dame de Paris. 1200, the king of France recognized that scholars of Paris University have legal clergy qualifications and judicial immunity (Paris University is the second university and a gentleman's university).
Modern universities around the world, which originated in the early19th century, refer to new universities after the Enlightenment and rationalism transformation, especially the University of Berlin founded by Humboldt in Germany.
