  6. What is behind us?  legislative changes (University of Zagreb participated from 2002) - still unresolved issues • new study system - parallelisms, no-intra university mobility  ECTS full implementation - still not based on actual working load • new doctoral program - 3 year structured program • introduced quality culture

  7. What is in front of us? • ECTS system – reevaluation • starting II cycle – master • research-based doctoral system • LLL (specialist study – postgraduate or LLL ?)

  8. Bachelor degrees  redefinition and/or reevluation  1:1 vs. 1:5 system  intra-program mobility • Mobility of students (and teachers) • Definition of university and professional titles • Exam system • Grading system

  9. General obstacles • Equipment, space • Teaching staff (unequal distribution at the university level) • Funding But also 4. Readiness for change 5. Recognition of degree/competencies changes outside academia

  10. To sum up: • By 2010. first generation of two cycles • All the programs (and ECTS) should be reviewed • Need for governmental and academic incentives
