A guide to higher education systems and qualifications in the European Community

Abstract

"Since January 1991, a new European Community system for the recognition of higher education diplomas has made it easier for Community citizens to practise their profession in the Member Country of their choice. As more people take advantage of the freedom of movement, Community citizens will need to be cognisant of the wide variety of certificates, diplomas and degrees that are now valid across national boundaries. The purpose of this guide is to provide such information. A general introduction is followed by 12 chapters, dedicated to each Member State and detailing: ++ The organisational strukture of higher education, ++ Awards procedures and standards, ++ Lists of qualifications and diplomas, ++ Specialist and professional qualifications, ++ Key academic terms and further reading." (author's abstract) ((en)) Im Zuge der Verwirklichung des EG-Binnenmarktes gilt seit Jannuar 1991 die gegenseitige Anerkennung von Hochschulabschlüssen (EG- Richtlinie 89/48).
