Bachelor's and Master's degrees
For some years the European higher education system has been
undergoing a radical reform process, the goals of which are stated
in the
Bologna Declaration of the European Education Ministers.
These
are:
- A system based on two main cycles offering new qualifications:
- Bachelor's degrees after 3 years
- Master's degrees after a further 2 years
- Course contents divided into learning modules (modularisation)
- Internationally accepted recognition of student performance using ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits
The ZHW is also in the midst of the transformation process.
All details on the current status of reform at the ZHW can be
found on the following pages.
