Bologna process

Posted in International relations

Bologna process

The Bologna Declaration initiated the Bologna process. This process is designed to introduce a system of academic degrees that are easily recognisable and comparable, promote the mobility of students, teachers and researchers, ensure high quality teaching and incorporate the European dimension into higher education.

The Bologna Declaration involves six actions relating to:

a system of academic degrees that are easy to recognise and compare. It includes the introduction of a shared diploma supplement to improve transparency;
a system based essentially on two cycles: a first cycle geared to the labour market and lasting at least three years, and a second cycle (Master) conditional on the completion of the first cycle;
a system of accumulation and transfer of credits of the ECTS type used in the Erasmus exchange scheme;
mobility of students, teachers and researchers: elimination of all obstacles to freedom of movement;
cooperation with regard to quality assurance;
the European dimension in higher education: increase the number of modules and teaching and study areas where the content, guidance or organisation has a European dimension.

Kazakh Ablai Khan University of International Relations and World Languages is a signatory of the Magna Charta Universitatum, Bologna, Italy (2010). Since then Bologna Process Integration has become one of the strategic priorities for the University.

The University achievements in this field so far are as follows:

Ablai Khan University has bilateral agreements with 34 European Universities.
The University adopted ECTS system of accumulation and transfer of credits for incoming international students.
Outbound academic mobility to Europe in academic year 2014-2015 comprises 16 students. Inbound mobility from European universities comprises 4 students.
22 graduate students have taken short term courses at European universities in academic year 2014-2015.
Ablai Khan University is involved in 3 projects under EU programmes.
