which is the oldest university in the world ?

There are a lot of schools that could be considered more ancient than others, but ultimately, there can only be one answer. The University of Bologna in Italy is widely considered to be the oldest university in the world, with its inception dating back to 1088 CE. This school is still very much active today and has been ranked as one of Europe's top ten schools by QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education Rankings. It's no surprise then that it was also ranked within Global News' list of "10 London Universities Worth $40K+" for 2018-19.
