Summary:

Issues in Higher Education Series Editor: Guy Neave, CIPES, Portugal This book presents a critical analysis of the implementation of the Bologna Process, its achievements and consequences, as well as its failures and lack of convergence problems. Over the last decade the implementation of the Bologna Process, an ambitious reform of European higher education systems, has attracted attention from politicians, academics, students and scholars in higher education policy. Taking Portugal as a case study, the book includes an analysis of the perceptions and the practices, formed at the institutional level in respect of the key objectives laid down at the European level, namely employability, mobility and attractiveness. Cristina Sin is a research fellow at the Centre for Research in Higher Education Policies (CIPES), Portugal. Previously, she worked at Lancaster University, UK, as a Research Associate and at the Higher Education Academy, UK with educational projects aimed at improving higher education learning and teaching.
