More information about higher education in the following countries:
Higher education programmes award degrees that should refer to a level in the overarching Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area, which organises higher education in three sequential levels or cycles: the so-called Bachelor-Master-Doctorate system
National authorities and/or institutions are responsible for the recognition of foreign qualifications (diplomas). This procedure is called the credential evaluation: recognition for professional purposes, for the purpose of further studies or for the right to use a national title or degree.
European models of quality assurance can include assessment and accreditation procedures at either programme, subject or institutional level. Every model has to be in line with the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area.
The Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area is an essential instrument in understanding European programmes and the degrees awarded. It puts forward the so-called Bachelor-Master-Doctorate system.
The Bologna Process has brought about and is still shaping the European Higher Education Area. This Area should ensure mobility of students and staff, employability of graduates, global competitiveness and international attractiveness of higher education.
