Education Issues No. 24
University Reforms in Europe, The Bologna Process

Education Issues is an occasional series of publications written for those who, although not directly involved in education, are interested in developments within the education system.

This booklet outlines the main points in the Bologna Declaration - a document signed in 1999 by 29 European countries, committing their countries to adopt a 'common framework of readable and comparable degrees' and thus 'create a European space for higher education' by 2010. The main issues include how the framework might work, post-Bologna discussions and the issues for chemistry in the UK.
