Qualifications Introduction To A Concept (Council of Europe Higher Education)

Qualifications are a key element of higher education policies in general and of the Bologna Process in particular. Much work has been accomplished in this area over the past few years, and a proper understanding of qualifications is essential to making the European Higher Education Area a reality. This book provides a systematic overview of the concept of qualifications, discusses its main elements, such as level workload, quality, profile and learning outcomes, examines generic and subject-specific competences. The author also considers the development of qualifications frameworks and explores the impact of our understanding of the concept of qualifications on recognition.--Publisher's description.
