This article is about universities in Europe established after World War II. For an overview of all existing European universities, see List of universities and colleges in Europe.
This list of modern universities in Europe since 1945 comprises all universities which have been founded in Europe since the end of World War II.
No universities were established in Switzerland and Malta during this period.[1]
Many of universities listed here are founded after Ukraine independence in 1991. Often those universities have much longer history, as they are created on the base of already existed institutes as a result of reforms.
