Bologna Treaty from the view of students and graduates

Abstract

The main aim of the Bologna Process is to create a common and comparable system of academic standards and quality within Europe. Twenty-nine countries agreed to sign the declaration in 1999 and that number has since increased to forty-six [1, 2]. Attempts have been made by Engineers Ireland to help this process come into affect by the decision to raise minimum requirement of new ordinary members to Masters Degree in Engineering accredited by Engineers Ireland after 2013. In this paper, one of the engineering programmes is covered in detail (Manufacturing Engineering with Business Studies). Also, a survey expressing a number of student’s opinions as well as obstacles for the Bologna process based on the survey results are presented.
