Bologna Process

• Relevance on the EU Master Study– EU– Master Study

• Processing

• Transitioning

Goals

• The Bologna Declaration:– Adoption of a training system with easily understandable and

comparable degrees;– Introduction of a system based on two main, sequential training

phases (cycles), in which the first degree obtained in the first cycle (bachelor training) gives enough qualification for successful placement on the labor market. Furthermore, it is a necessary condition of entering the second training cycle (master’s training);

– Establishment of a single credit transfer system;– Facilitation of extensive teaching, research and student mobility;– Establishment of cooperation in the field of European higher education

quality assurance;– Support of the European dimension of higher education, inclusion of

knowledge about Europe and the European Union in education.
