The consecutive grading system introduced in the course of the Bologna Process has now largely replaced the traditional degrees (Diplom and Magister).
Alongside the introduction of a system of comprehensible and comparable degrees and the improvement of mobility, safeguarding quality standards is also one of the key objectives of this comprehensive structural reform.
The quality of teaching therefore became more of a focus. The modularisation of study offers with accompanying examinations, the introduction of a credit point system based on student workload, the orientation to learning outcomes and teaching centred on students are therefore key elements of the reform process, which is intended to improve the quality of teaching and the academic feasibility of the courses offered.
