Established in West Berlin amid the early Cold War period and resulting from the undeniably Communist-controlled Humboldt University, its name alludes to West Berlin's status as a feature of the free world, instead of the Soviet-involved "unfree" territories encompassing the city. 

Freie Universität Berlin was made by understudies and researchers on 4 December 1948. The establishment is emphatically associated with the start of the Cold War period. The University of Berlin was found in the previous Soviet part of Berlin and was allowed consent to keep instructing by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) in January 1946.

This lead to an uprise of challenges by understudies condemning of the predominant framework. Somewhere around 1945 and 1948, more than 18 understudies were captured or mistreated, some even executed by the soviet mystery police (NKVD). 

Toward the end of 1947, first understudies requested a college free from political impact.

The University was incorporated by Act of the Parliament of New South Wales in Sydney in 1949, but its character and idea can be traced back to the formation of the Sydney Mechanics Institute in 1843, leading to the formation of the Sydney Technical College in 1878. The Institute sought ‘the diffusion of scientific and special knowledge’, the College sought to apply and teach it.

Commenced as The New South Wales University of Technology, the University’s international context is that of the Australian recognition of that scientific and technological impulse in tertiary education that produced the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Berlin University of Technology. It acknowledged at university level that profound development in human knowledge and concern that had impelled the nineteenth century industrial and scientific revolution.

The new University’s focus was on this new knowledge, this new way of encountering, explaining and improving the material world. Australia needed to keep abreast of the diversity of challenges associated with the Second World War, a demand recognized by the NSW Government in establishing the University. Its core concerns were teaching and research in science and technology, but its courses included humanities and commerce components in recognition of the need to educate the full human being.

Initially, in 1949, operating from the inner city campus of Sydney Technical College, it immediately began to expand on its present eastern suburb site at Kensington, where a major and continuing building program was pursued. Central to the University’s first twenty years was the dynamic authoritarian management of the first Vice-Chancellor, Sir Philip Baxter (1955 – 1969, and previously, Director, 1953 – 1955). His visionary but at times controversial energies, built the university from nothing to 15,000 students in 1968, pioneering both established and new scientific and technological disciplines against an external background of traditionalist criticism. A growing staff, recruited both locally and overseas, conducted research which established a wide international reputation.

The new University soon had Colleges at Newcastle (1951) and Wollongong (1961) which eventually became independent universities. The Australian Defense Force Academy in Canberra became, and remains, a University College in 1981.

In 1958 the University name was changed to the University of New South Wales, and in 1960 it broadened its scholarly, student base and character with the establishment of a Faculty of Arts, soon to be followed, in 1960 by Medicine, then in 1971 by Law.

By Baxter’s retirement in 1969, the University had made a unique and enterprising Australian mark. The new Vice-Chancellor, Sir Rupert Myers, (1969-1981) brought consolidation and an urbane management style to a period of expanding student numbers, demand for change in University style, and challenges of student unrest. Easy with, and accessible to students, Myers’ management ensured academic business as usual through tumultuous University times.

The 1980s saw a University in the top group of Australian universities. Its Vice-Chancellor of the period, Professor Michael Birth (1981-1992), applied his liberal cultivation to the task of coping with increasing inroads, into the whole Australian university system, of Federal bureaucracy and unsympathetic and increasingly parsimonious governments. His task mixed strategies for financial survival with meeting the demands of a student influx which took the University into being one of the largest in Australia, as well as being, in many fields, the most innovative and diverse.

From 1951 the University had welcomed international students, and by 2000, of a student population of 31,000, about 6000 were international students, most from Asia. Annual graduation ceremonies are held in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

The stabilising techniques of the 1980s provided a firm base for the energetic corporatism and campus enhancements pursued by the previous Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Niland (1992 - 2002). The 1990s saw the addition of a Fine Arts dimension to the University and further development of the public and community outreach which had characterized the University from its beginnings. At present, private sources contribute 45% of its annual funding.

After fifty years of dynamic growth the University tradition is one of sustained innovation, a blend of scholarship and practical realism. Its tone is lively and informal, its atmosphere exciting and happy. It offers the widest range of Faculties, its initial emphasis on science and technology now sharing excellence with disciplines as various as Arts, Fine Arts, the Built Environment, Commerce, Law, Life Sciences, Medicine, Management – that whole world of knowledge whose investigation and communication was its initial stimulus.

In the years 2010, 2011 and 2013, the Times Higher Education positioned the University of Bonn as one of the 200 best colleges in the world.The University of Bonn is positioned 94th worldwide as indicated by the ARWU University positioning. 

The college's herald was the Kurkölnische Akademie Bonn (English: Academy of the Prince-balloter of Cologne) which was established in 1777 by Maximilian Frederick of Königsegg-Rothenfels, the sovereign voter of Cologne. In the soul of the Enlightenment the new foundation was nonsectarian. The foundation had schools for religious philosophy, law, drug store and general studies. In 1784 Emperor Joseph II conceded the foundation the privilege to grant scholastic degrees (Licentiat and Ph.D.), transforming the institute into a college. The foundation was shut in 1798 after the left bank of the Rhine was involved by France amid the French Revolutionary Wars. 

The new Rhein University (German: Rhein-Universität) was then established on 18 October 1818 by Frederick William III. It was the sixth Prussian University, established after the colleges in Greifswald, Berlin, Königsberg, Halle and Breslau. The new college was just as imparted between the two Christian divisions. This was one of the reasons why Bonn, with its custom of a nonsectarian college, was picked over Cologne and Duisburg. Aside from a school of Roman Catholic philosophy and a school of Protestant religious philosophy, the college had schools for prescription, law and rationality. Inititally 35 teachers and eight extra educators were instructing in Bonn. 

One and only year after the commencement of the Rhein University the screenwriter August von Kotzebue was killed by Karl Ludwig Sand, an understudy at the University of Jena. The Carlsbad Decrees, presented on 20 September 1819 prompted a general crackdown on colleges, the disintegration of the Burschenschaften and the presentation of oversight laws. One exploited person was the creator and writer Ernst Moritz Arndt, who, crisply delegated college educator in Bonn, was banned from instructing. When the passing of Frederick William III in 1840 was he reestablished in his residency. An alternate outcome of the Carlsbad Decrees was the refusal by Frederick William III to present the chain of office, the authority seal and an authority name to the new college. The Rhein University was hence anonymous until 1840, when the new King of Prussia, Frederick William IV issued it the authority name Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität. 

Regardless of these issues the college developed and pulled in popular researchers and understudies. Toward the end of the nineteenth century the college was otherwise called the Prinzenuniversität (English:Princes' college), the same number of the children of the ruler of Prussia mulled over here. In 1900 the college had 68 seats, 23 subordinate seats, two privileged educators, 57 Privatdozenten and six instructors. Since 1896 ladies were permitted to go to classes as visitor evaluators at colleges in Prussia. In 1908 the University of Bonn got to be completely coeducational. 

The development of the college stopped with World War I. Money related and monetary issues in Germany in the result of the war brought about lessened government financing for the college. The University of Bonn reacted by attempting to discover private and mechanical backers. In 1930 the college received another constitution. Surprisingly understudies were permitted to partake in the controlling toward oneself college organization. To that impact the understudy chamber Astag (German: Allgemeine Studentische Arbeitsgemeinschaft) was established around the same time. Individuals from the understudy chamber were chosen in a mystery vote. 

Amid the second World War the college endured substantial harm. An air strike on 18 October 1944 decimated the primary building. The college was re-opened on 17 November 1945 as one of the first in the British occupation zone. The main college president was Heinrich Matthias Konen, who was removed from the college in 1934 on account of his resistance to Nazism. Toward the begin of the first semester on 17 November 1945 the college had more than 10,000 candidates for just 2,500 spots. 

In 1980 the Pedagogigal University Bonn was blended into the University of Bonn, albeit in the long run all the instructors training projects were shut in 2007. In 1983 the new science library was opened. In 1989 Wolfgang Paul was recompensed the Nobel Prize in Physics. After three years Reinhard Selten was honored the Nobel Prize in Economics. The choice of the German government to move the capital from Bonn to Berlin after the reunification in 1991 brought about liberal remuneration for the city of Bonn. The pay bundle incorporated three new research establishments partnered or nearly working together with the college, along these lines essentially improving the examination profile of the University of Bonn. 

In the 2000s the college executed the Bologna transform and supplanted the customary Diplom and Magister projects with Bachelor and Master projects.

The University of Iceland (Icelandic: Háskóli Íslands) is an open exploration college in Reykjavík, Iceland, and the nation's most established and biggest organization of advanced education. Established in 1911, it has become relentlessly from a little common hirelings' school to a current extensive college, giving direction to around 14,000 understudies in a quarter century. Showing and exploration is led inside sociologies, humanities, solution, characteristic sciences, designing and educator instruction. It has a grounds thought around Suðurgata road in focal Reykjavík, with extra offices placed in adjacent ranges and in the farmland. 

The University of Iceland was established by the Alþingi on June 17, 1911, uniting three previous post-optional organizations: Prestaskólinn, Læknaskólinn and Lagaskólinn, which taught religious philosophy, solution and law, separately. The college initially had resources for these three fields, notwithstanding a workforce of humanities. Amid its first year of operation 45 understudies were selected. The main Rector of the college was Björn M. Ólsen, a teacher in the staff of humanities. 

For its initial 29 years the University was housed in the Icelandic Parliament building, Alþingishúsið, in focal Reykjavík. In 1933, the college got a unique permit from Alþingi to work a money prize lottery called Happdrætti Háskólans. The University Lottery, which began in 1934, remaining parts a significant wellspring of financing for the development of new college structures. In 1940, the college moved into the principle building, composed via Icelandic state engineer Guðjón Samúelsson. The principle building structures the center of the college grounds on Suðurgata, where a large portion of the key structures of the college are spotted today. Lately there has been some real rebuilding. In 2008 the college was separated into five separate schools. At the same time, Iceland University of Education was converged with the University of Iceland to turn into its School of Education. Expanded rivalry from nearby schools has urged the college to incredibly enhance its promoting systems, which had beforehand been regarded superfluous. 

The college's fundamental grounds lies promptly south-west of Tjörnin in the focal point of Reykjavík. It covers around 10 hectares in total.[4] There are around 30 structures altogether, the most established of which, Gamli Garður, was assembled in 1934. The Main Building neglects a semi-round yard, emphasizing a statue of Sæmundur fróði. In 2007, another administration focus was opened alongside the principle building, and huge numbers of the most basic administration work areas were migrated there. A few addresses happen in Háskólabíó film at the northern end of the grounds. There is likewise an exercise center, a few dorms and littler exploration establishment structures on the grounds. Most structures are found on the primary grounds and close-by neighborhoods. The Faculty of Sport, Leisure Studies and Social Education, then again, is placed in the town of Laugarvatn. In 1994 the college library (formally settled in 1940) converged with the national library of Iceland, Landsbókasafn Íslands (est. 1818) to structure one vast scholastic library, the National and University Library of Iceland (Icelandic: Landsbókasafn Íslands - Háskólabókasafn). The library fundamental building, Þjóðarbókhlaðan, is arranged beside the principle grounds. 

Training and exploration at the University of Iceland is nearly tied with the National University Hospital in Reykjavík. The offices of the School of Health Sciences are hence to a

And the ENS-ECNU Joint Graduate School was formally established in June 2005. Based on the Great China University (or Daxia University, founded in 1924) and Kwang Hua University (founded in 1925), East China Normal University was established in October 1951 on the site of Great China University and was joined at the same time by a number of faculty members from Fudan University, Tongji University, University of Shanghai and East China PE Academy.

In 1952, the Chinese government regrouped the country's higher education institutions in an attempt to build a Soviet-style system, departments from Saint John's University, Zhejiang University, University of Shanghai, Utopia University, Aurora University, Tongji University and Jiaotong University were incorporated into ECNU. After the adjustment, ECNU was changed to a comprehensive multi-disciplinary university in China.In March 1959, ECNU was authenticated as one of the first 16 National Key Universities in China, and this status was reaffirmed in 1978. From 1972 to 1980 (the Cultural Revolution in mainland China), it was known as Shanghai Normal University, and in 1980 its original name "ECNU" was resumed. In June 1986, ECNU was selected to be one of the first 33 higher education institutions authorized, by the State Council, to establish their graduate schools.

In 1996, ECNU passed the prerequisites appraisal and became one of universities sponsored by the major national program "Project 211". In 2006, the Ministry of Education and Shanghai Municipality signed into a partnership for co-sponsoring the development of the university, qualifying ECNU as a member of the "Project 985" and facilitating ECNU's efforts and progress toward a comprehensive, research-oriented and internationalized world-class university.
