What are the 3 universities established in the middle ages?

Answer 1

There were over sixty universities established in the Middle Ages. Lists of western universities usually show the first as the University of Bologna, which was founded in 1088. The Universities of Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge are other important medieval universities. But they are not as old as the University of Constantinople, which was founded in 425 AD and is usually left off the lists of early universities.

Answer 2

A cursory search shows some of the greatest universities were formed in the Middle Ages. Not everyone was tutored by monks. As well in large cities, universities were formed because of the desire to learn and question the status quo. Monks were NOT the only educated people. ALthough the clergy were the primary one's who were educated, there were other avenues for young men to become educated.

This notion that no one was educated or lived in complete ignorance is incorrect. The University of Bologna is 900 years old. It and it's rivals were setup to explore ideas, learn, teach. They fought for academic freedom from the Church.

Answer 3

The first institutions devoted to higher learning and that could be considered to be universities were established in Spain, Italy and England in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. Students could learn law, medical arts, theology and the arts. However, these institutions evolved from much older Christian sponsored schools where students were taught typically by monks and evidence of this tradition dates back to around the 6th century. The term university didn't come into use until the end of the 14th century.
