This thesis aims to examine the success factors and barriers for mergers in European
universities after World War II. The results from studying the general literature on mergers in
tertiary education, will be strengthened with the study of two cases at European level, the
successful case of the merger of the University of Manchester and the unsuccessful case of
the merger of three Colleges (Buskerud, Vestfold and Østfold) in Norway.
Based on the findings from the systematic literature review and the two cases, we analyze the
success factors and the barriers of mergers that have taken place in Universities worldwide.
Finally, we provide some recommendations for the mergers in the Greek tertiary education,
which is in progress from the beginning of 2018.
