The European Commission has adopted a package of ambitious proposals for Europe’s higher education sector, with the aim of working towards a European degree. The package contains a blueprint for this new and universally recognised qualification, as a result of deeper and wider transnational cooperation between higher education institutions – a key component of the European Education Area.
The blueprint proposes a concrete cooperation path and outlines support measures for European Union (EU) countries and their higher education systems towards the creation of a European degree.
As part of the package, the Commission has also adopted 2 proposals for Council recommendations on
- a European quality assurance and recognition system in higher education
- attractive and sustainable careers in higher education
Both proposals go beyond the pure ambition of developing a European degree and are advantageous for the wide and diverse higher education sector.
