institution places within this system along with the main
areas studied as part of the programme. Should be issued

European language to every student with their degree.

System reflects the workload associated with study units. One
academic year of full time study corresponds to 60
ECTS credits. One ECTS credit should be equivalent to 25-30
hours of classes and self-study.

Quality Assurance Facilitate cooperation on quality assurance in higher education on European level to develop common
criteria and methodologies that will promote mutual trust in and facilitate recognition of qualifications.
Qualifications Framework Explains qualifications in an education system on the basis of knowledge, skills and competencies obtained upon
completion. It provides information on the level of and transition between qualifications to allow for flexible learning pathways and to facilitate recognition of qualifications.
Mobility Including students, academic and administrative staff. It may be for a short-term (e.g. semester) or a whole
degree. The development of a mobility window is discussed to allow for flexibility of study programmes. The process envisages that 20% of graduates should have been
mobile as part of their studies by 2020.
