Higher Eduction

In Europe there are many masters available. We are now working on an overview of masters in Europe

 

The ECBA compared the European curricula twice in the last 30 years. There are now developments which make it urgent to do it again.

First of all there is a “new” biology. A term used for today’s biology in the USA and they mean business. This new idea may have an impact on how we want to organise Biology education in Europe. A good example can be the field of systems biology. A FEBS letter provides a good overview of the field.

Secondly we are now well on our way in the bama structure.  Like always we presume  no major differences between countries and/or institutes.

At national level there are already initiatives to update science to the reality of the 21^st century.

 

The most important initiative to harmonize Europe’s academic education , facilitate mobility and employability of students, and increase the European dimension in higher education is the Bologna process. In Science online (May 2010) is a good article which provides an overvieuw of 10 years Bologna process.
