What are the Bologna Criteria?
The Bologna criteria, which are based on increasing the competitiveness of universities in the world and Europe and creating synergy among universities, are the principles of the platform established by the declaration signed by the ministers responsible for education of 29 European countries on June 19, 1999. With the signed Bologna Criteria, a quality assurance system was introduced to education. Thus, universities have been included in a mechanism that monitors their own educational quality. It is essential to strengthen the social field by ensuring the mobility of academics and students, and for European universities to become centers of attraction.
In the evaluation system, which is another criterion, students are given a say in the universities where they receive education and are allowed to participate in management.
In terms of Student Participation, which is one of the Bologna Criteria, students are involved in the development processes of the educational quality of universities.
The Networking and International Participation Cooperation criterion makes it feasible to have student exchange programs, to have the courses for which students are responsible be accessible information in an international network, and to cooperate with universities abroad.
In our country, student councils of our universities also hold meetings regarding the Bologna Process and Bologna Criteria.
