Outline • Historical • Hungarian higher education in numbers • Cross-border activity in Hungarian HE • Special case: neighbouring countries • Coming soon: mobility window • An example: Eötvös Loránd University • Actual legal background • Some obstacles to overcome
Motto: Bologna ≠ three cycles Bologna = SCL + European dimensions Not without traditions in this region: see, e.g. Coloman the Book-Lover; Grofica Marica
Historical 1993: Hungarian Accreditation Committee (HAC) 1994: Organisation of doctoral programmes 1999: Hungary signed the Bologna Declaration 2001: Organisation of doctoral schools 2002: ECTS credits in all HEIs Membership of HAC in ENQUA 2005: Adoption of the first ESG 2006: Hasty introduction of two-tier structure 2011: (Partly) simplified criteria for cross-border HE programmes (HAC)

Roadmap to the introduction of MW • Decision at policy level • Consultations with relevant organisations: Ministry, Education Authority, HAC • Collection of good examples (AT, BE, DE, NL, RO) • Organisation of PLAs with key stakeholders • Draft guide to HEIs on MW (done) • Finalisation of the Guide – March 2016 • Wider professional promotion – March • Working out of MWs at HEI level - mid 2016

Legal background / obstacles • Joint / double degrees: ex ante accreditation of HAC required • Other ENQUA agencies can do it since 2015 (still ex ante, by the agency) • Long and complicated procedure (compared to manyother EHEA countries) • Institutions should be authorised to accredit joint / double degree programs ex post accreditation of programmes enough (with the ex post accreditation of institutes)
