dec 2, 1150 - Paris University is founded in France
Description:
The University of Paris was originally a student-teacher corporation operating as an annex of the Notre-Dame Cathedral School. The corporation was formally recognised as a "Universitas" in an edict by King Philippe-Auguste in 1200: in it, he allowed the corporation to operate under ecclesiastic law that would be governed by the elders of the Notre-Dame Cathedral School, and assured all those completing courses there that they would be granted a diploma. The university had four faculties: Arts, Medicine, Law, and Theology. The faculty and nation system of the University of Paris (along with that of the University of Bologna) became the model for all later medieval universities. Students followed the rules and laws of the Church and were not subject to the king's laws or courts.
