Bachelors and Employability 2007/01
• What is employability?
• One answer: the ability (degree of ability) of graduates
to find jobs after completion of their studies.
• Implication #1: Employability becomes a liability and
responsibility of HEIs.
• Implication #2: Employability may serve as a
benchmark and as key performance indicators for HEIs.

•
Objectives for Bachelors (“BAs”) and
“employability” are:
1. BA graduates should receive a “knowledge”
that can be applied and thus transformed into a
practical occupation context.
2. BA students should be able to finish their BA
studies in a pre-defined time frame.

• What is knowledge? Ramifications are:
1. Integration of knowledge creation/production,
diffusion and use;
2. In epistemic terms: “Mode 1” and “Mode 2”;
3. Societies and economies are increasingly
knowledge-based;
4. The importance of “innovation”.

Bachelors and Employability 2007/09:
Challenges for the employability of BAs
1. The Bachelors as a “short-term” degree versus
the expectation that, as a consequence of LLL
(“life-long learning”), the demand on the
individual to extend the number of
accomplished academic degrees will expand;
2. “BA” degrees must be seen as “individual
components” of a more comprehensive
education and degree system;

Bachelors and Employability 2007/10:
Challenges for the employability of BAs
3. The Bachelors must integrate: (specialized)
knowledge, social skills, personality;
4. Practical knowledge (internships/“Praktika”) will
gain crucially in importance for the BA;
5. The disciplinary tracks of the BA degrees will
equal the disciplinary logic of the previous
system versus the disciplinary basket will be
reshuffled;

Hypothetical typology & virtual %
distribution of BAs and MAs
• In the following, as working hypotheses for a
further debate, a (micro) typology of different
profiles of BA and MA degrees and of their
(“virtual”) percentage distribution of frequency –
in the future – are being presented.
