Abstract | One third of all the degree programmes offered at German universities meanwhile lead to Bachelor's and Master's degrees. The plan is to have replaced the traditional German degrees - Diplom, Magister and Staatsexamen - completely by 2010. The Bologna-Process is picking up speed in Germany, albeit that the tempo differs from one federal state to the next. In absolute terms, North Rhine-Westfalia and Baden-Württemberg are the states that have changed most degree programmes over to the Bachelor's/Master's system, the last winter semester saw a total of just under 3800 new-style programmes offered in Germany as a whole. At this speed, the Federal Republic finds itself in the middle of the field in Europe. The general mood in Germany can be described as "cautiously optimistic", claims a survey from Kassel. University heads and industry see the far-reaching academic reforms more positively than do professors and students. The first nationwide study carried out by the Higher Education Information System (HIS) at the end of 2004 showed that graduates of the new Bachelor's programmes were satisfied with their career prospects. They found a position just as quickly as did their former fellow students, who held one of the traditional degrees. Still, industry seems to desire a greater influence on shaping the degree programmes and on what skills and competencies graduates should have. To make their new programmes and on what skills and competencies graduates should have. To make their new programmes more attractive, universities needed to accommodate company interests more, it was claimed. While Holger Bill, from management consultants Accenture, observes that "quite a few reservations still exist". (HoF/text adopted). |
