Bologna Reform Study

This study concerned the Bologna Process and its impact and aimed to:

• Appraise the achievement of the operational objectives of the Bologna Declaration and subsequent communiqués, in particular in the areas of curriculum reform, recognition and quality assurance;

• Evaluate the extent to which the operational objectives led to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the Bologna Declaration, i.e. “to establish the European area of higher education and to promote the European system of higher education worldwide”.

The study consisted of six phases:

1. theoretical phase and study design

2. desk research into available and needed data on the operational goals and progress towards the strategic goals, covering all (then 46) EHEA countries

3. in-depth case studies of higher education systems that provide illustrative examples (‘best/good practices’ and others) for decision-making

4. interviews to collect stakeholders’ views on the Bologna Process

5. analysed and reporting

6. communication on project findings with decision-makers (BFUG, conference of Ministers in Budapest/Vienna)

The final report was delivered to the Advisory Group in January 2010.
