LE TAPPE DEL PROCESSO DI BOLOGNA

Nella Dichiarazione di Bologna, il sesto obiettivo dei Ministri è:

Promozione della necessaria dimensione europea dell'istruzione superiore, con particolare riguardo a:– sviluppo dei curricula, – cooperazione fra istituzioni, – schemi di mobilità, – programmi integrati di studio,– formazione e ricerca.


• PRAGA 2001(A) i corsi di studio congiunti In order to further strengthen the important European

dimensions of higher education and graduate employability Ministers called upon the higher education sector to increase the development of modules, courses and curricula at all levels with ”European” content, orientation or organisation. This concerns particularly modules, courses and degree curricula offered in partnership by institutions from different countries and leading to a recognized joint degree.


• PRAGA 2001(B) la capacità di attrazione della EHEA• un nuovo obiettivo:

– Promoting the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)

• come? – A common framework of qualifications– coherent quality assurance– accreditation /certification mechanisms– increased information efforts


da PRAGA 2001 a Berlino 2003

• 2 seminari di Bologna sui Joint Degrees (Stoccolma e Mantova)

• la EUA promuove il progetto pilota sui Joint Masters “10 Golden rules”

• il Coimbra Group mette a punto un Glossario di termini utili

• lancio di Erasmus Mundus


• BERLINO 2003(A) elementi irrinunciabili di un Joint Degree

– mobilità studentesca– apprendimento delle lingue (language policy)

(B) impegno a rimuovere i vincoli legali che si oppongono al rilascio del titolo congiunto

oggi su 25 paesi UE (consultzione Erasmus Mundus), 10 possono rilasciare, 4 possono (previa decisione della istituzione (IE,UK) o decisione case by case

(DK,HU) 1 “non automatico” (FR) 7 non possono (EE, LV,LT, NL, SE) 3 situazione non dichiarata (CY, LUX, MT)


da Berlino 2003 a Bergen 2005

• 1 seminario di Bologna sui Joint Degrees (Stoccolma)

• Erasmus Mundus comincia a funzionare: definizione di “integrated study programme”

– Joint criteria for admission and examination: – Course integration: – Mobility– Guaranteed award of a recognised joint, or a double or a multiple

degree upon graduation:


da Berlino 2003 a Bergen 2005due esigenze sono prioritarie per i corsi congiunti:

– essere saldamente ancorati nelle istituzioni partner

• procedure amministrativo-accademiche dettagliate e innovative

– essere oggetto di adeguate valutazioni di qualità

• metodologia Tuning per il miglioramento della qualità• EUA-European Masters New Evaluation Methodology


• BERGEN 2005 (A) rinnovata attenzione ai joint degrees:

– testi sussidiari alla Convenzione di Lisbona– futuro stocktaking riguarderà anche “the awarding and recognition

of joint degrees, including at the doctorate level”

(B) la attractiveness viene collegata anche a:– ricerca e formazione alla ricerca– dimensione sociale del processo di Bologna

(C) adozione dello EQF- European Qualification Framewok

I am honoured to be invited to comment on your initiative from the perspective of international recognition of qualifications. Let me start by stating that such an initiative of setting up a joint degree and joint diploma deserves all possible encouragement. It is an example of recognition in practice in its finest form, from which student mobility in Europe can only benefit. I can whole-heartedly support the conclusion of the Italian NARIC that is mentioned in the letter and endorse the proposed procedure. In my opinion it contains the elements necessary from the point of view of foreign credential evaluators or admissions officers.
