The University of Bologna, founded in 1088, is recognized as the oldest university in continuous operation in Europe, predating Oxford and other institutions. Its longstanding history underscores its significance in European higher education, with no verified evidence of it being surpassed in age by other universities still in operation.

charles university in prague? 1347
Why are there North African universities?
Pecs (Hungary) 1367
The title should be “Oldest Universities in Continuous Operation” as noted on the map.
What’s with the poor jpeg-ish jaggly quality
earliest source of image I can find: https://www.reddit.com/r/mediterranea/comments/l8h65q/oldest_universities_in_continuous_operation/
The date for Salamanca is not correct, it should be 1218, which is when it became a studium generale by royal charter. Prior to that, the schools of the cathedral had been active since around 1174, not 1134.
The date of 1096 for Oxford is very sketchy, as my friend u/qed1 has explained more than once.
Also, this map has appeared before around here.
Furthermore, the Northern African ones would be a problem in and of themselves to be called universities. If those madrasas are to be called universities, then the pandidakterion of Magnaura should get such a denomination too
I’m not sure what exactly defines a university, but i seriously doubt the North African university/mosque qualifies as a European university in definition.
Especially since all these old universities in Europe are founded up to or during the renaiseance where the church took a backseat regarding higher education. Up until then, the church had a monopoly on education – and the quality was thereafter.
My point is, I think you need to look for when these institutions provided proper university-grade education. And just scimming the wiki page on the university from Tunis, that happened in 14th or 15th century.
Vilnius university? 1579
Why is there no entry for Germany?
Our oldest continuously operating ones are:
Heidelberg University – 1386
Leipzig University – 1409
Could you spare a couple more pixels for this poor viewer?
Like jesus, the names are barely legible. Where did you rip this from?
I can see Bologna ran to the North.
Maybe not university but the oldest school in Poland is still running since 1180
OP’s North African trying to show the Europeans where education came from. We acknowledge you, mate.
hehehe
Uniwersytet Jagielloński
Second after Bologna, if my historical knowledge doesn’t fail me. But this map is typical western bias…
TIL the Arab word had universities before the Europeans
