In 1999, the European ministers in charge of Higher Education convened in
Bologna to sign a Declaration with the intention to create a 'European
Higher Education Area' by the year 2010. Professional music training, which
has gradually been integrated into the national higher education systems
during the past decades, is also strongly influenced by these developments.
In order to create understanding for the rationale and background of the
Bologna Process and to assist institutions with the reforms that are a
result of this Process, the AEC has initiated several information
activities, such as this website, which functions as an 'AEC Bologna
Handbook Online': it contains all documents that are produced by the AEC in
relation to the impact of 'Bologna' on professional music training in
Europe, including research results, country overviews, congress
presentations, learning outcomes, frequently asked questions and more!

 

 

MOBILITY AND RECOGNITION

 

Music students having been on an international exchange must have their
study period abroad recognised by their home institution in order to avoid
delays in their studies or additional examinations. To organise the
recognition for academic purposes (for the continuation of studies abroad or
for the recognition of a study period abroad as part of the regular studies)
in a transparent way, the EU has developed several tools, such as the
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and the Diploma Supplement (DS). 

 

INNOVATION IN HIGH ARTS EDUCATION

 

The AEC Project 'The Effects of the Bologna Declaration on Professional
Music Training' was part of an Erasmus Thematic Network called 'Innovation
in Higher Arts Education', funded by the European Union Socrates Programme.
This thematic network was hosted by the Hogeschool Gent in Belgium and was
based on cooperation between AEC and ELIA (the European League of Institutes
of the Arts). In the framework of this Thematic Network, several joint
events were organised and a joint position paper was developed.

 

QUALIFICATIONS IN EUROPE: THE BOLOGNA DECLARATION PROCESS

 

In Europe, all countries operate in different education systems and
therefore with different types of qualifications and titles. In order to
make higher education in Europe more

comparable, transparent and competitive, the 'Bologna Declaration' was
signed by the European ministers for education in 1999, proposing several
far-reaching reforms in higher

education, such as the implementation of a 2-cycle structure
(Bachelor/Master), the use of credit points and an European approach to
quality assurance, all to be implemented by 2010. Virtually all European
countries are now going through this process of change initiated by
'Bologna'. However, this does not mean that the systems will be the same in
all European countries. For example, in the professional music training
sector there will be differences in the duration in years of the 2 cycles,
with some countries using 3 + 2 systems and other counties 4 + 2 or 4 + 1
systems. Substantial differences in the actual content of the studies will
also remain, although a development has started to develop European-wide
descriptions for learning outcomes for the 1st and 2nd study cycles in
music, which could assist institutions in agreeing on European level what a
'Bachelor of Music' or a 'Master of Music' should lead to in terms of
competencies, without having to agree on how these competencies should be
reached. It is therefore at this stage not yet possible to give information
on the exact names of the various degrees as they are currently being
developed in the field of music in the framework of the Bologna Declaration
Process. As a result, the information on regulated professions and their
qualifications listed below per country may not only be incomplete, but will
also have to be updated regularly in the near future.
