The previous answer of Heidelberg, Germany is wrong.
Since Heidelberg was founded in 1386 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruprecht_Karl_University_of_Heidelberg ) and the University of Cambridge is celebrating its 800th anniversary this year ( http://www.cam.ac.uk/ ) Heidelberg isn't even close.
The answer is very probably the University of Bologna ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bologna ) about 3 centuries earlier than Heidelberg.
