Promotion of comparability and compatibility of
degrees:
Two cycle study system, ECTS, adoption of a system
of easily readable and comparable degrees, Diploma
Supplement, permeability of study structures
Goals: European

The European Directive on the recognition of
qualifications:
Cooperation inprofessional

Transnational
Common European Market
Goal: „A clear, secure and quick system for the
Recognition Agreements
Goals: freedom of movement of workers, right
of establishment, freedom of services.
Declaration of Lisbon, Barcelona: „to make
Europe the most competitive and dynamic
knowledge-based economy in the world.“
Dr. Iring Wasser,
Managing Director ASIIN e.V.
recognition of qualifications in the field of the
regulated professions is required to ensure free
movement.“
The EC institutions and member states should
facilitate employment and the provision of services
through wholesale consolidation of the existing
regimes of professional recognition in the regulated
professions.
Professional Mobility
Completion of the European Higher Education
Area until 2010, in which citizens can choose
from a wide and transparent order of high
quality courses and benefit from smooth
recognition procedures
Academic Mobility
Political Context of
QA in Europe

Main European Instruments
for Quality Assurance
European Quality Assurance is based on
 The European Qualification Frameworks (Bologna as well as
Copenhagen OF, Dublin Descriptors)
 European Standards and Guidelines,
 European Code of Good Practice
 European Register of QA/Accreditation Agencies
 European Learning Outcomes/Competence Profiles on the
Disciplinary Level
Dr. Iring Wasser,
Geschäftsführer ASIIN e.V.

The growing importance of the
Learning Outcome Concept for
European Mobility
The Leuven Communique in 2009:
”We reassert the importance of the teaching mission of higher education
institutions and the necessity for ongoing curricular reform geared toward the
development of learning outcomes... Academics in close cooperation with student
and employer representatives, will continue to develop learning outcomes and
international reference points for a growing number of subject areas…“
”It is arguably that the main end product of the Bologna reforms is better
qualifications based on learning outcomes and certainly not just new educational
structures. For this sort of bottom-up reform it is recognised that there is a need
for fundamental changes at the institutional level where academics are responsible
for creating and maintaining qualifications”. (Stephan Adam, UK Bologna Promoter)

Professional Cards as an answer to
impediments of professional mobility?
 Lacking transparency on the job market
Different degrees and complicated acceptance procedures have
hampered the change of employment in European Countries and
between European Countries.
 EU Mobility Regulation of 2005
The EU therefore demands the mutual acceptance of the
competencies required to carry out a profession in order to
eliminate impediment at the change of employment between
individual member states in the long-term.

Objectives of the professional cards
Promotion of EU-wide mobility of professionals in accordance with the
European Directive 2005/36/EG on the recognition of professional
qualifications
Profile shaping and further development of the profession through orientation
on European-wide standards
Strengthening the Euroepan professional communities through transparency of
professional status, individual degrees and intensified identification

The Way Forward

Learning Outcomes/Competence Profiles will continue to be developed
internationally/continental scale as a vehicle of academic and professional mobility:the
founding of EASPA a crucial step forward

Development of measurable cross-national outcomes (The AHELO project) ;
Institutionaliziation of international peer groups which visit institutions and programs in
several countries at the same time to cross-examine the output of study programs

Development of international/joint degree programms; joint accreditation procedures for
binational/joint degree programs

ESG revision must be supplemented by a drive towards Mutual Recognition Agreement

European Databases of Best Practices in QA will emerge

Stakeholder involvement must be intensified; Involvement of the Business Community is
still one of the biggest challenges
