  1. The Bologna Process in Germany and Russia – Common Problems and Opportunities Stefan Schwan, Deputy Head of the Moscow DAAD Office Moscow, 16th December 2005, HSE

  2. Bologna – What do we need this for? • In the RF: • International recognition of degrees (in RU and D) • Increasing flexibility of the study system • (Inter-) national mobility • Differentiation of diploma towards “mixed” and key competencies • Sharpened occupational orientation • In Germany: • Reduction of study time • Reduction of high drop out rates • Joining rationales of education vs. requirements of the labor market • Increase employability • More structure and supervision Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  3. Bologna compliant studies in Germany (1) • October 2005: 3.842 new BA- and MA-studies • about 34 % of all studies • Among these about 42% MA-studies • About 820 BA/MA-studies accredited ( 27,5 %) • Only 5,3 % of all students enrolled in BA-MA • 2003/2004: 1785 BA- and MA-studies Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  4. Introduction strategies All 16 Bundesländer (Federal states) intend to finalize reforms by 2010 – by using different strategies • Fixed Date, e.g North Rhine Westphalia “only enrollment for studies complying to the bologna process” after 2006/07 • Target agreement between HEI and regional Ministry, e.g. Saxony and Berlin • Voluntary transition to new model, e.g. Rhineland Palatinate • And Russia? Fixed date 2007/08? Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  5. Duration of BA and MA in Germany Bachelor • 3-year BA: 82 % • 3.5-year BA 15 % • 4-year BA: 3 % Master • 2-year MA: 61 % • 1.5-year MA: 23 % • 1-year MA: 11 % (Daten aus: HRK, Statistische Daten zur Einführung von Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen sowie www.hochschulkompass.de, 17.10.2005) Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  6. The third cycle: PhD in Germany an Russia • Prallelism of Graduate Schools and individual PhD • Graduate Schools since 20 years funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) • October 2005: 277 Graduate Schools, among these 26 international Graduate Schools (partly DAAD supported) • Target: More structured and faster (3 years) • RF: Compatibility (Aspirantura, Kandydat Nauk etc.)? Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  8. Why is Bologna attractive for Students? • Flexibilization of careers • Life long learning • International recognition of studies • Education more individual • Less / more structured studies • More Support for foreign students in Germany (PROFIS) Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  9. Why is Bologna attractive for Russian and German HEIs? • Development of internationally recognized studies and diploma, positioning on the international education market • Entry for foreign students is getting easier • New target groups (income generating for HEIs?) • More freedom to compete with other HEIs and develop individual programs • Developing specific profiles (targeting students, international partners etc.) Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  10. DAAD-programmes connected to the Bologna Process • International Summer Schools (GoEast) • Foreign languages? • Joint degrees with Russian HEIs (presently about 80 Joint degrees at German universities, increasing) • Recognition of Diploma? • „Double“-Degrees? • Languages? • Scholarships for Master studies, PhD etc. • Where are the Bachelors? • Integration in international Grad Schools? Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  11. GoEast-Summerschools in the RF Biology of Plants. Biodiversity in a changing environment in Northern Europe. Northerm European Open University (Petrozavodsk) Higher School of Economics (HSE), Summerschool for Lawyers and Economists Field school forgeographers, ecologist and landscape schedulers in Barnaul International Summerschool for historians. Voronesh,"Russland - ein Imperium und seine Regionen" Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  12. Bologna-compliant studies in Germany (2) • Two thirds of all BA/MA offer the program or a part of it in a foreign language; 17% offer even a large part in a foreign language (mostly MA) • In 20% a stay abroad is compulsory (34% for economics an law) • Two thirds of BA/MA involve representatives of the labor market actively (especially FH) (Die genannten Daten aus: Schwarz- Hahn, St./Rehburg, M.: Bachelor und Master in Deutschland, Kassel 2003) Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  13. Why is Bologna attractive for employers? • Qualifications that “fit” (Bachelor or Master, practical or theoretical, subject specific or broad education) • Multiple qualifications (e.g. business engineer) • Graduates with internationally recognized degrees, new possibilities for HR-Management • Apart from subject knowledge training in „soft skills“ Stefan Schwan • daad@daad.ru

  14. The Common Challenge • Reserved attitude and fears of HEIs and information deficit • Lacking financial capacities • Lacking human resources esp. in transition period • Occupational qualification of graduates • Recognition and success on the labor market • Acceptance among students • Reforming state examination (law, teachers, medicine) • Changing attitude towards mobility • Time is scarce to reach the target by 2010!
