UAB adaptation to the European Higher Education Area Office of the Vice-Rector of Students and Culture January 2006

Exponential rise in the fields of study. Access to information has diversified, and has become cheaper and easier to obtain. Initial training is not sufficient for modern employment, which is changing constantly. Increase in the need for lifelong learning. Demand for academic study to be more relevant to employment. Increase in the number of students working during their studies. More skilled workers being employed in Europe (Maastricht) Changing conditions in the knowledge society

Initial specialisation (1992). Exhaustive training focussed on knowledge. Delay in the student acquiring his or her first higher education qualification. Courses that lack continuity. Delay in entering employment. Lack of student mobility. Problems with the current system

Consequences (1) Initial specialisation (1992).  Difficult to change studies. Exhaustive training focussed on knowledge.  Increase in the number of “basic” modules. Delay in the student acquiring his or her first higher education qualification.  Monosequential (“tunnel”) courses.  Drop-out with no recognition for work achieved. Courses that lack continuity.  Diplomas (Nursing, Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy, etc.).  Effort required for a course based on number of hours of lectures (10 hours of lectures = 1 credit for the student).  An unspoken agreement between lecturer and student.

Consequences (2) Delay in entering employment Lack of student mobility

Framework: Bologna Declaration (1999) Prague Declaration (2001) Berlin Declaration (2003) Royal Decrees governing undergraduate and postgraduate courses (21/01/2005) Bergen Declaration (2005) Catalogue of undergraduate courses ( ?) Course assessment and certification criteria (?) General guidelines for individual courses (?) Drafting new syllabuses ( ) Official programmes for master's degrees (September 2006 ) more general more specific

Goals of the Bologna treaty 1.Harmonise higher education (but not making it uniform). 2.Promote student mobility throughout Europe. 3.Adopt a transparent system in which qualifications across Europe are comparable. 4.Adopt a common system for calculating credits in Europe. 5.Increase employability in the European labour market. 6.Promote the European dimension of higher education and its competitiveness in relation to other systems (US and Asia).

 Avoid an excessive number of years of study required for a first university qualification.  Facilitate the incorporation of graduates into the labour market.  Build solid foundations in the undergraduate phase, providing access to various postgraduate specialisation courses (advanced academic training / professionalisation / introduction to research).  Avoid over-specialisation during the undergraduate phase that limits the future of students.  Make it easy for students to move into other university systems.  Enable students to join and leave the higher education system throughout their lives. Course structure compatible with the rest of Europe (undergraduate 3/4 + postgraduate 2/1)

A structure that integrates us completely into the EHEA. Modular conception of studies. A structure that harmonises undergraduate studies. Flexibility in curriculum configuration. Undergraduate and postgraduate courses as a public service. A structure of Official Postgraduate Programmes (POPs) leading to official master and doctorate qualifications. Principles behind the UAB model

A campus university. Surrounded by a circle of UAB research centres (Esfera UAB). Quality education and alert to the new employment realities of students. Unique undergraduate and postgraduate courses,... promoting geographical mobility and internationalisation, as well as internal vertical and transversal mobility. Opportunities at the UAB

Focus the core modules on the first 180 of the total of 240 credits. Focus “UAB minors” on the final 60 credits. 60 EHEA structure
