  1. ALBANIA and Bologna Process 2007

  2. Bologna Process Events 1.THE SORBONNE DECLARATION - 25th of May 1998 Universities' central role in developing European cultural dimensions, the creation of the European area of higher education as a key way to promote citizens' mobility and employability. 2.CARTA MAGNA UNIVERSITATUM - Bologna, 18th of September 1998 Universities' independence and autonomy ensure that higher education and research systems continuously adapt to changing needs, society's demands and advances in scientific knowledge. 3.THE BOLOGNA DECLARATION – 19th of June 1999 Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, Adoption of a system essentially based on two main cycles, Establishment of a system of credits - such as in the ECTS system, Promotion of mobility by overcoming obstacles to the effective exercise of free movement, Promotion of European co-operation in quality assurance, Promotion of the necessary European dimensions in higher education, particularly with regards to curricular development. 4.CONFERENCE OF PRAGUE – 19th of May 2001 Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, Education system essentially based on two main cycles, Promotion of European cooperation in quality assurance, Lifelong learning. 5.COMMUNIQUÉ OF BERLIN - 19th of September 2003 Commitment to establish the European Higher Education Area by 2010, Aiming at strengthening social cohesion and reducing social and gender inequalities both at national and at European level, Agree that by 2005 national quality assurance systems should take place, Mobility of students and academic and administrative staff is the basis for establishing a European Higher Education Area, Follow-up structure. 6.CONVENTION OF LISBON - 19th of September 2003 7.MEETING OF BERGEN –on 19-20 May 2005 8. CONFERENCE OF LONDON – May 2007

  3. Bologna Process outcomes From Sorbonne declaration to the Meeting of London the European stakeholders have underlined the necessity of a deep reform across all European HEIs on: • Three cycles of studies, • Student Mobility, both nationally and internationally • Curricula reform (ECTS, modularity, one semester based), • QA and Accreditation, • From National Qualification Framework to European Qualification Framework (learning outcomes), • Symbiosis of education and research, • Optimal integration into the labour market

  4. HE reformpriorities Two (three) cycles of studies, Curricula reform (ECTS, one semester based modules), Quality Assurance, From National Qualification Framework to European Qualification Framework (learning outcomes), Recognition of qualifications (Lisbon Convention) Symbiosis of education and research, Student and staff mobility, Labour market oriented

  5. Albanian HE reform Based on Bologna Process and its main documents National Master Plan HE New Law Reform of R&D institutions – integration with HEIs

  6. HE Reform - stakeholders Government – MoES, Albanian BFUG Ad Hoc WGs HEIs, Council for HE and Science, Employers community, Student organisations, Trade Unions

  7. Curricula reform1 . New degree structure

  8. Curricula reform2 . Vertical Organisation Master Year II 120 credits Year I Bachelor 180 credits Admission test state maturity 1 credit = 25 hours of student’s work (home work + classes) Year III Year II Year I

  9. curricula reform3 . Course organisation

  10. Education Level according to Bologna process and anticipated implementation time in the country

  11. QA System fully functional, QA Institutions Accreditation Agency Accreditation Council Evaluation versus Accreditation, National procedures, criteria and requirements, About 60% of HEIs already evaluated Results made public, Involvement of foreign expertise: occasional, Networking (European and Regional), Focus on internal QA Quality Assurance

  12. UNI1 UNI 2 UNI 3 PRE-UNIVERSITY LEVELS UNI 4 UNI 5 National Qualification Framework UNI 1 University first level Maturity + 1 or Maturity +2 (Professional certificates) UNI 2 University second level Maturity + 3 (“Bachelor” ordinary – 180 ECTS) UNI 3 University third level Maturity + 4 (“Bachelor” with honours – 240 ECTS) UNI 4 University fourth level Maturity + 5 (“Master” >= 300 ECTS) UNI 5 University first level Maturity + 8 (PhD – Doctoral studies >= 360 ECTS)

  13. National Qualification Framework • Kick-off Conference with experts from CoE • AL-BFUG 3° WG has detailed Uni level descriptors • Another WG dealing with pre-Uni levels and level descriptors • In view : National Conference with Albanian stakeholders to complete the NQF

  14. Existing Recognition Unit within the Ministry of Education and Science Enhancement of the legal framework : in line with Lisbon Convention Some bilateral agreements for automatic recognition New Law on HE : national information centerfor Albania – representing Albania in the ENIC network Recognition of qualifications

  15. In compiling Al HE strategic documents, In HE events (conferences, workshops..) In QA process In HEIs governing bodies New HE Law: increasing SP at all HE activities new student STATUS in HEIs New climate for democratic and fair elections of their organisation within HEIs Student participation

  16. “Hot” Debate issues for the future • BFUG - Albania • Autonomy and responsibility of HEIs • NQF – Dublin descriptors • Professorship workload (ECTS, hours, both?) • Course recognition at HEI or national level (75% of common course contents?) • Many other details...

  17. Polytechnic University Tirana - ALBANIA and Bologna Process 2007

  18. Polytechnic University of Tirana (PUT) its history • PUT was founded in 1951 under the name of Polytechnic Institute • In 1957 the Polytechnic Institute was introduced in the structure of the StateUniversity of Tirana • In 1991 the PUT obtained the status of independent university, grouping in itself all the engineering faculties belonging till then to the University of Tirana • PUT is a public non profitable high technologic institution
