Bologna is based on a common quality management system for European universities.
It’s one of the key elements of the European Higher Education Area. The basis that allows educational institutions to improve the education they offer without undermining the academic and professional guarantees required by society.
Quality is the mortar that binds together the new European university structure, built from the bottom upwards by the leaders of the education community instead of being planned on paper by public administrations.
The system that guarantees citizens a catalogue of verified and approved qualifications, created with objective and transparent criteria.
A catalogue that is open to new additions but which is also prepared to de-list qualifications if the study plan no longer meets expectations, because every qualification is evaluated every six years to be re-accredited, if appropriate.
And all of this is articulated in an agreed format by 46 countries, with the collaboration of institutions like the ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education); the creation of common regulations such as the ESGs (European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance); and the establishment of European agency registers, such as the EQAR (European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education) which includes the Spanish ANECA agency (National Agency for the Evaluation of Quality and Accreditation).
