Oldest university in germany and england #1 (permalink) Sat Jul 10, 2004 20:45 pm   Oldest university in germany and england
 

Hello I'm not a fire starter but a thread starter :), Bruce asked me which German university is the oldest. It's the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg. It was founded in 1385. Today about 15% off all students are from abroad - most of them from Europe.
Which is the oldest university in England? Oxford I suppose? Or is it Cambridge?

According to this, Oxford university's origin is traced back to 1096. However, the university had a bit of sandal back in 1209, and consequently, the university was disbanded. This lead to the foundation of Cambridge University. So, to answer your question, Oxford is the oldest.

I created an online education portal and launched it shortly over a year ago; not many changes have been made lately for a reason, but it will start adding new features soon. I wanted the portal to have a mechanism to get user input; I wanted to create infra-ware, kind of like Wikipedia. I find that forum is a great addition to the portal to make it like infra-ware, and I added the forum almost a year ago. This is how I started the forum.

If you have some other question, I'll be happy to answer. Also English-Test had this interview with me a couple of months ago. You can read it if you are interested.
