when and where on earth the worlds first university established?

Answer 1

Because of this definition, there is controversy about which university is the world's oldest. If we consider a university as a corporation of students, then Plato's Academy is the first, historically-documented university. The original Latin word "universitas", first used in time of renewed interest in Classical Greek and Roman tradition, tried to reflect this feature of the Academy of Plato. If we consider university simply as a higher education institution, then it could be Shangyang, founded before the 21st c. BC in China, if it is not myth. In the western world, the choice is among Takshashila, Nalanda, Ratnagiri University and Al-Azhar University. The University of Constantinople (Byzantine Empire), re-founded in AD 849, by the regent Bardas of emperor Michail III, is generally considered the first institution of higher learning with the characteristics we associate today with University (research and teaching, auto-administration, academic independence, et cetera). Nalanda University, founded in Bihar (India), circa the 5th century BC, also conferred academic degree titles to its graduates, while also offering post-graduate courses. A third university whose ruins were only recently excavated was Ratnagiri University in Orissa. Al-Azhar University, founded in Cairo (Egypt) in the 10th century, offered a variety of post-graduate degrees, and is usually regarded as the first full-fledged university
