The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is the environment shared by Europe’s university systems, designed to promote mobility, interaction and opportunities for its respective members. Its essential parameters were established in the Bologna Declaration signed by 29 European States on 19 June 1999:
- The adoption of an easily readable and comparable system of qualifications through the implementation, among other means, of a European Diploma Supplement.
- The adoption of a system based on two principle cycles: degree (with a minimum duration of three years) and postgraduate (comprised of two levels: master or doctorate) .
- The establishment of a system of credits, such as the ECTS system, which encourages mobility.
- The promotion of European cooperation to ensure quality for the development of comparable criteria and methodologies.
- The promotion of mobility and the suppression of obstacles that hinder this mobility by students, lecturers and administrative staff of universities and other European higher education institutions.
- The promotion of a necessary European dimension in higher education with special emphasis on curriculum development.
