Almost Half-time in the Bologna Process — Where Do We Stand?

The article discusses implementation of comparable degrees in order to implement the Bologna process. Adopting a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, essentially based on two main cycles, was one of priorities of the Bologna Declaration. And to achieve this, governments and higher education institutes have to cooperate closely so that they can ensure that the implementation of the new degree structures is not done superficially but is accompanied by the necessary curricular reform, taking into account the ongoing European discussions on descriptors for Bachelor-level and Master-level degrees, learning outcomes and qualification profiles. It will also be essential that they elaborate national qualifications frameworks based on external reference points that are in tune with a common European Qualifications Framework.
