Universalisation characterises the development of higher education since the Middle Ages. Three manifestations of this process can be distinguished: the expansion of enrolments, the expansion of the scope of teaching and research over ever more subjects, and the expansion of academic freedom. Universalisation is supported at the European level by the secretaries of education of 29 European countries, who are committed to the development of a European university. At the same time it is attacked by the higher education establishment in Germany. As a result the analysis suggests, that the process of universalisation will go on and shape the future European university.
