<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leiden University is the oldest university in the Netherlands, established in 1575 by William of Orange. It is located in the city of Leiden with an international honours college based in The Hague.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Throughout its history the university has stood for freedom and its motto, Praesidium Libertatis, translates as ‘bastion of freedom’, dating back to when its founder conferred university status on Leiden in recognition of the city’s resistance against Spanish invaders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The modern day Leiden stands for inclusiveness and diversity. It comprises seven faculties in the arts, sciences and social sciences, is home to 26,000 students from 100 different countries and describes itself as ‘a place of refuge where any question can be asked and answered in complete freedom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leiden prides itself on a teaching style that emphasises individual learning and small group work. Its modest-sized classrooms are designed to allow faculty to offer personal supervision and ensure that students’ needs are met. It also offers a ‘pre-university college’ to prepare high school pupils for university life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A total of 16 Nobel Prize winners are associated with Leiden as well as 19 Spinoza Prize winners, the highest accolades awarded in Dutch science. Albert Einstein was once a visiting professor at Leiden and, in terms of modern scientific research, the university works closely with the Leiden Bio Science Park, the most prestigious life sciences cluster in the Netherlands and one of the most successful science parks in Europe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It credits its high international rankings in science to the freedom it continues to give to its scientists to pursue excellence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Notable Leiden alumni include members of the Dutch royal family, Princess Beatrix van Oranje-Nassau and His Royal Highness Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau, as well as former Secretary General of NATO Professor Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.</div>

<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Established more than 200 years ago, in 1810, the Humboldt University of Berlin is one of the most prestigious universities not only in Germany, but in Europe. It has a world class reputation in arts and humanities fields.</span></div>

<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Originally known simply as the University of Berlin, it was given its current name in 1949, and is named after both its founder, Wilhelm von Humboldt, and his brother, the esteemed naturalist and alumnus of the institution, Alexander von Humboldt.</span></div>

<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">HU Berlin is recognised as one of Europe’s pioneering higher education institutions. Wilhelm von Humboldt is credited with developing a model for universities that saw a closer relationship between research and teaching - a model that is still followed in higher education institutions across the world today.</span></div>

<span style="color: #494343; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">The institution’s academic clout is evidenced by the fact that it has educated no fewer than 29 Nobel prizewinners, including Max Born, who won the prize for physics in 1954; Theodor Mommsen, who won the prize for for literature in 1902; and Wassily Leontief who won the prize for economics in 1973.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), founded in 1885 as a trade school, is among the world’s leading technological and scientific research institutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been ranked by Tech. Co as North America’s top public university for ‘the best-equipped graduates to make an impact in the world of technology’, and among the top 10 public universities in North America by U.S. News and World Report. It also produces more women engineers than any other institution in the nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university caters for more than 21,500 students in total and offers degrees through the colleges of Design, Computing, Engineering, Sciences, the Scheller College of Business and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boasting state of the art resources and strong partnerships with business, industry and government, it comprises more than 100 centers for interdisciplinary research. The university’s Invention Studio, a 3,000 square-foot, student-run space, is open 24 hours a day, to allow students to generate ideas and develop prototypes in a collaborative environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Located in the Midtown district of Atlanta, the state capital, Georgia Tech offers a lush 400-acre, tree-lined campus in the heart of the city, as well as a collegiate atmosphere incorporating 20 intramural sports, 43 sports campus, campus traditions and approximately 400 student organisations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Atlanta is a major global city and, away from campus, students have access to a vast range of cultural attractions, economic and recreational opportunities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The city is also famed for being the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr, with Atlanta playing an integral role in America’s Civil Rights Movement. In 1961, the university became the first in the Deep South to admit African-American students without a court order, while women students were first enrolled in 1952.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vocational study is offered at Georgia Tech with students encouraged to get involved in community service projects and to develop practical skills that will help them secure high-end jobs. Its Centre for Career Discovery and Development is regarded as one of the best university career support offices in the country.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The University of Washington is one of the largest and most prestigious higher education institutions on the west coast of the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Founded in 1861 as the Territorial University of Washington, the institution expanded with the city of Seattle during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, moving to its current site in 1895.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 700-acre park-like campus, which borders two lakes in Seattle, is now home to 16 schools and colleges offering courses ranging from undergraduate to doctoral level. The university also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma which offer bachelor’s and master’s degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has a highly respected medical school, offering training in dentistry, medicine and public health, serving medical centres across the Pacific North West and Alaska.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has traditionally educated students for public service in the region, offering courses in topics such as education, engineering, public affairs and social work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With an emphasis on outreach and widening opportunities, the university also offers courses through distance learning, and evening classes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university is known informally as U-Dub, and its students, sports teams and alumni are often called “Huskies”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Washington has produced several Nobel laureates, counting four among its alumni and another seven among its faculty. The most recent recipient is alumna Linda Buck, also an affiliate professor at Washington, who won the 2004 medicine prize.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are eight Pulitzer Prize winners among its alumni, most notably the novelist Marilynne Robinson.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other notable Washington alumni include MySpace founder Chris DeWolfe, actor Jim Caviezel and martial artist Bruce Lee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seattle itself is a city of more than 650,000 people about 100 miles south of the Canadian border, located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington. It is a major centre for technology companies, with headquarters of firms such as Amazon and Microsoft located in the region.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a private, global research university, and one of just 25 universities to be admitted to the World Economic Forum’s Global University Leaders Forum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its motto is ‘My heart is in the work’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Established in 1900 by the famous industrialist Andrew Carnegie, initially as the Carnegie Technical Schools, the university became the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. In 1967 it merged with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, resulting in its present incarnation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CMU emphasises close collaborations between faculty and students to address scientific, technological and societal challenges, as well as making things ‘from art to robots’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university lays claim to many examples of ground-breaking inventions and pioneering research into brain science, data, start-ups and driverless cars, among others. It was the first institution (via professor Scott Fahlman in 1982) to create a ‘smile’ in an email.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its cohort numbers well over 13,000 students from 114 countries, and a faculty of more than 1,400.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With its strong focus on creating new things, CMS says that many of its students go on to join some of the world’s most successful companies. The Association of University Technology Managers has ranked it first among US institutions for start-up companies created per research dollar spent, between 2008 and 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

CMU boasts many student traditions with a distinctly Scottish flavour that owe their heritage to its Scottish-American founder, Andrew Carnegie. They include celebratory bagpipe playing on campus and the kilt-wearing student marching band known as the ‘Band Without Pants.’</div>

Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a private, global research university, and one of just 25 universities to be admitted to the World Economic Forum’s Global University Leaders Forum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Established in 1900 by the famous industrialist Andrew Carnegie, initially as the Carnegie Technical Schools, the university became the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. In 1967 it merged with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, resulting in its present incarnation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CMU emphasises close collaborations between faculty and students to address scientific, technological and societal challenges, as well as making things ‘from art to robots’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university lays claim to many examples of ground-breaking inventions and pioneering research into brain science, data, start-ups and driverless cars, among others. It was the first institution (via professor Scott Fahlman in 1982) to create a ‘smile’ in an email.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its cohort numbers well over 13,000 students from 114 countries, and a faculty of more than 1,400.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With its strong focus on creating new things, CMS says that many of its students go on to join some of the world’s most successful companies.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Founded in 1754 as King’s College by Royal Charter of King George II of England, Columbia is the oldest university in the state of New York and one of the oldest in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its main landmark is the Low Memorial Library, which was built in the Roman Classical style and still houses the university’s central administration offices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as its main campus in the heart of New York City on Broadway, Columbia has two facilities outside Manhattan: Nevis Laboratories, a centre for the study of high-energy experimental particle and nuclear physics in Irvington, New York, and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More than 80 faculty members, adjunct staff and alumni of Columbia have won a Nobel prize since 1901, when the awards were first granted. These include chemist Robert Lefkowitz, economist Joseph Stiglitz and US President Barack Obama, who was given the Peace Prize in 2009.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Columbia has also educated Founding Father of the US Alexander Hamilton, US presidents Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt and actors Jake Gyllenhaal, Katie Holmes and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The private research-based university has 20 schools – which include architecture, planning and preservation; business; Jewish theological seminary; and law – and 23 libraries that are scattered across the city. Sponsored research from its medical centre produces more than $600 million annually.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Columbia Technology Ventures, the institution’s technology transfer office, manages more than 400 new inventions each year and has been involved in launching over 150 start-up companies based on Columbia’s technologies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university also has nine Columbia Global Centres, which aim to promote and facilitate collaboration between the university’s staff, students and alumni in order to address global challenges. These are in China, Jordan, Turkey, Kenya, India, France, Chile, Brazil and New York City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2014-15, the university’s total endowment value passed the $9.6 billion mark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Imperial College London, a science-based institution based in the centre of the capital, is regarded as one of the UK’s leading institutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The college has around 15,000 students and 8,000 staff, with a focus on four main areas: science, engineering, medicine and business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The institution has its roots in the vision of Prince Albert to make London’s South Kensington a centre for education, with colleges going alongside the nearby Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and Science Museum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Imperial was granted its charter in 1907, merging the Royal College of Science, the Royal School of Mines and the City & Guilds College.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The institution boasts 14 Nobel Prize winners, including Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Famous alumni include science fiction author H.G. Wells, Queen guitarist Brian May, former prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi, former UK chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson, and former chief executive of Singapore Airlines Chew Choon Seng.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The college’s motto is Scientia imperii decus et tutamen, which translates as “Scientific knowledge, the crowning glory and the safeguard of the empire”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
