  4. Introduction of Bologna • BAMA structure 2002 • ECTS 2002-2004 • Diploma Supplement 2005 • Erasmus Mundus 2005 • Change of the Law on HE 2007? ( joint degrees)

  5. Diploma supplement • Transparency main objective of ‘Bologna’ • Students, HEI’s and employers need to get a good insight/ impression of the level and content (qualifications) of the student - Diploma supplement is the instrument to inform the HEI’s and the employers • The Dutch government made the giving out of a DS to every student compulsory, and free of charge • Set Format UNESCO /CEPES

  6. Check of the DS (1) • All HEI’s are asked to have their DS checked • 1 December 2006 the check started and two weeks ago the HEI’s were informed about the results • 43 HEI’s sent in (one or more, sometimes 4) DS • \We developed a checklist (we spoke to some employers and other beneficiaries) • The DS were checked twice ( a university and a HBO background promotor)

  7. First findings • None of the DS was correct • Universities have a better score than HBO • The format of UNESCO/CEPES was not used or altered • Pre ambule is changed • The numbers are changed • Names of degree courses are not correct • Things are left out • Information is mentioned on the category

  8. Check of the DS (2) • The findings of the evaluators are put together and a common conclusions were formulated. • The HEI's received a general letter, a letter with general remarks and a copy of their own DS with specific remarks.

  9. Conclusions • Many HEI’s do not see not yet the importance of the DS • It appears that Universities are taken DS more serious then HBO • Many still want to impose there own format • Not always provided automatically and without costs for the student
