origin

Modern universities directly originated from European medieval universities in 12 and 13 centuries. Ancient Egypt, India and China were the cradles of higher education, and ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium and Arab countries all established relatively perfect and developed higher education systems.

Although many educational historians also call these local institutions of higher learning universities, strictly speaking, they are not real universities.
