Established in 1984 as City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong achieved full university status in 1994. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it first opened its doors, about 1,100 students were registered. Today, more than 10,000 students attend the university. Also known as CityU, the institution’s main 15.6 hectare campus – housing its eight colleges and schools – is located in the Kowloon area. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university’s motto, which is carved in stone in the university garden, is Officium et Civitas. This translates literally as “office and state”. This, the university says, reflects the sense of duty and encourages student and staff to combine “academic professionalism and career ethics”. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Past students include the Bona Mugabe, daughter of Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe, and pop musicians Chet Lam and Fiona Sit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university has a strong reputation for sports, claiming a double victory (winning both the women’s and men’s overall championships) in the University Sports Federation of Hong Kong tournament on eight occasions – more than any other institution. </div>

Under the motto “Be the Best that You Can”, CityU’s sports teams train at the five-story Hu Fa Kuang Sports Centre, which has – among many other facilities – six squash courts, a table tennis room, a climbing wall and two golf driving practice rooms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) is a public research university in Boulder, Colorado, established in 1876.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Situated at the foot of the scenic Rocky Mountains, students of the university can enjoy incredible views from campus and take advantage of a range of outdoors pursuits (Boulder has 300 miles of bike routes, and a multitude of national parks and forests, as well as downhill and cross-country ski areas).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university’s motto, from the original Greek, reads ‘Let Your Light Shine’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the years, a number of Nobel laureates, astronauts and MacArthur Fellows have been linked with the university, either as students, researchers or members of the faculty. The American actor Robert Redford, who founded the internationally celebrated Sundance Film Festival, is an alumnus of the university.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university has been ranked by Forbes as the 18th the most entrepreneurial university in the nation. According to the 2015 US News & World Report, the university also ranks within the top 10 in the fields of aerospace engineering, ceramics, environmental law, geology, physical chemistry and quantum physics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CU-Boulder describes itself as having one of the most active college campuses in the US, with athletics and outdoors projects playing a central role in the student experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its sports teams are known as ‘Buffaloes’ and the university is a member of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as sports clubs, CU-Boulder is home to more than 300 organisations and clubs. Boulder is also served by a plethora of museums and galleries, such as the centrally located Colorado University Art Museum, and students are encouraged to ‘serve the greater good’ through volunteerism and civic engagement.</div>

<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">The University of St Andrews was Scotland’s first university and only the third to be founded in the English-speaking world. It sits in the heart of the east coast town of the same name, in the Kingdom of Fife.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">At a time when university status could only be conferred by the Pope, the then Bishop of St Andrews, Henry Wardlaw, sought a blessing from Pope Benedict XIII to establish a national university (most Scottish students in the middle ages were forced out of Oxford and Cambridge as a result of the Wars of Independence with England).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">The papal blessing was granted in 1413, allowing the St Andrews school of higher studies, on the site of a former monastery, the authority to confer degrees.</span><span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Over 900 degree courses are now offered at the university, organised across four faculties: Arts, Divinity, Medicine, and Science.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">About a third of its 8,000 students come from Scotland while just under half are international, hailing from 120 different countries in total, and the university has some of the lowest drop-out rates in the country.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The University of Bern, based in the Swiss capital, was officially founded in 1834 - although it can trace its roots back to the 16th century, when it became compulsory for monks to be educated in a higher education institution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was in the 1800s, however, that the university was officially founded, growing in size throughout the 19th and 20th centuries in line with the city of Bern’s own booming fortunes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university played a key role in the evolution of women's studies. Even in 1870, the the institution had a female student -Catharina Gontscharoff - registered. In 1899, the institution’s Female Students' Society was established, representing women's interests. Its motto was: "Same Rights, Same Duties".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university has some prestigious former faculty members. Albert Einstein taught theoretical physics at Bern in 1908, and the following year the Russian philiospher Anna Tumarkin became a professor (and the first European lecturer to accept PhD students).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The University of Bern is not located on a single, main campus. Instead, its faculties and schools are based in the Länggasse area - a district net to the city centre known as the academic part of the town.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The institution has also obtained and repurposed other buildings in the area. Its Faculty of Theology (along with some other faculties), for example, is based in a former chocolate factory. Another former factory known as the vonRoll site is also to be turned into a university building, and will house the Department of Social Sciences.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Georgetown University, a private university in Washington DC, is the oldest Catholic and Jesuit higher education institution in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its alumni include two former US presidents: Bill Clinton and Lyndon Johnson; as well as several other heads of state, including King Felipe VI of Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having been founded in 1789 by John Carroll, the US’ first bishop and archbishop, on a hilltop overlooking the Potomac River, Georgetown awarded its first bachelor’s degrees in 1817.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The American Civil War nearly forced the closure of the university, with the student body dropping from 313 to 17 between 1859 and 1861, but it was in the aftermath of the conflict that Georgetown became the institution that is known today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Patrick Healy, the university’s president between 1873 and 1882 and the first African American to earn a PhD, reshaped the institution’s curriculum to place a focus on history and the natural sciences, and started the construction of Healy Hall, the flagship Flemish Romanesque building at the heart of the campus.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Georgetown University</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nowadays the university is divided into nine undergraduate and graduate schools, including Georgetown College, which offers a liberal arts programme, and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, which has educated heads of state and politicians from around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With more than 7,000 undergraduate and about 10,000 postgraduate students, about 11 per cent of Georgetown’s students are from overseas, being drawn from about 130 countries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although it has always been independent of the Catholic Church, Georgetown’s Jesuit heritage continues to be influential, with education at the university emphasising service to others, particularly the vulnerable and disadvantaged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Georgetown also runs a school of foreign service in Doha, Qatar, and offers study abroad opportunities at villas around the Mediterranean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alumni and sports teams of Georgetown are known as Hoyas. Prominent Hoyas include US defence secretary Robert Gates and his predecessor Donald Rumsfeld; José Manuel Barroso, the former president of the European Commission; and King Abdullah II of Jordan.
