"Bologna process in Ukraine"

Processes of the European integration influence such important sphere of life of the Ukrainian society, as education. Bologna process (or Bologna accords) in Ukraine has officially begun on May, 19th, 2005 with signing the declaration on Bergen conferences. It is named after the place it was proposed, the University of Bologna with the signing, in 1999, of the Bologna declaration by ministers of education from 29 European countries in the Italian city of Bologna.

 For today 45 European countries inclusive with Ukraine have signed of the Bologna declaration which marks necessity of the European cooperation for creation the higher education area by making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable throughout Europe, maintenance of qualities of higher education, increase of qualities of experts preparation, strengthening of trust between subjects of formation, mobility, compatibility of systems of qualifications, strengthening of competitiveness of the European education system.

Thus, since the mid-90s, Ukraine took steps to reform its education frameworks in consistence with the Bologna Process. The basic framework adopted is of three cycles of higher education qualification. By mid-2000s, most Universities grant lower Bachelor's degree (about 4 years) and higher Master's degree (about 6 years). In the Soviet times the only degree was Specialist, which is discontinued by now. Masters are eligible for post-graduate courses. The post-graduate system (Aspirantura) has not been reformed, with Candidate of Sciences and Doktor nauk degrees being granted.

In this way, with the Bologna process implementation, higher education systems in European countries should be organized in such a way that it is easy to move from one country to the other (within the European Higher Education Area) ― for the purpose of further study or employment.
