The Bologna system was conceived at the end of the pastcenturies as a consonant response to globalization in education. By that time, the prerequisites for the creation of a unified financial, economic and, in Europe and political space, have already emerged in the world, so there is a need for unity in the educational sphere.

Variation and fragmentation, which differed inwhile the system of higher education interfered with the unification of one part of the Old World, and the model of a new Europe assumed the unobstructed movement of both labor and capital and goods, which, in turn, required comparability and standardization of diplomas.

That's why the Bologna system was created, under which standards for higher education of the new generation were composed, in particular, for two-level training: in bachelor's and master's programs.

Поступая в ВУЗ по такой системе, студент, After studying for one or two semesters in one country, they will be able to go on to continue their studies in another, without prejudice to their education. To do this, we needed an updated European single scale of credit units. And so a single standard was introduced: "credits", by means of which the degree of complexity of the subject is assessed, and in the appendix issued with the diploma, the education received by him is described in detail. Each year there are 60 credits.

Болонская система предполагает четкую унификацию all student documents, which confirm the quality and level of the acquired knowledge. It is these measures that will ensure the employment of European citizens who have received higher education, as well as increase their competitiveness at the international level.

It is established that graduates of the bachelor's degree willform the bulk of workers in a wide field of professional activity, and magistracy - the intellectual elite, who owns narrow-profile knowledge of specific professions. In addition, the Bologna system allows you to combine the acquired knowledge. For example, a student may be a bachelor in one specialty, and a master's degree in another, which will end the practice of a paid second-education system until recently.
