Abstract
The first decade of the 21st century is characterised by a lively debate about the future of higher education and by collaborative efforts to change the national systems of higher education in Europe in a similar direction. In the “Bologna Process”, structural changes are the focal operational arena of higher education reform. Steps have been taken since the late 1990s to replace or complement the variety of national patterns of higher education systems by a convergent cycle-model, often called the Bachelor-Master model.
