| The Impact of Globalisation and
Regionalisation on Graduate Education in the USA
and Europe
Recently both in Europe and in the USA the issue
of the implications of globalisation and regionalisation
on graduate education has become a relevant issue.
The original motivation for the debate has been
the implications of the Bologna Process for acceptance
of European 3 years bachelors to graduate education
in the USA, but the issue is broader and includes
topics such as: the need for a conceptual view
on graduate education in Europe as a consequence
of the Bologna Process and globalisation, the
need for rethinking current concepts of graduate
education in the US, the changing geographic landscape
of graduate education in the US and Europe as
far as international students) are concerned,
and the call for more joint degree programs in
and between the two continents. The research will
address these issues and, although the starting
point is globalisation, it crosscuts to most other
issues under the NCS theme, in particular access
and equity, the future of research, choice of
institutional models, and the future of the academic
profession.
The research is a logic follow-up of research
undertaken by the applicant on internationalisation
of higher education in the USA and Europe, on
international networking, and on the Bologna Process
and Integration of Higher Education in Europe.
The research objectives to be accomplished during
the exchange visit are to make a comparative analysis
of graduate education in Europe and the USA and
the implications of globalisation and regionalisation
on graduate education. The two major organisations
relevant in this debate are the European University
Association (EUA) and the Council of Graduate
Schools in the USA, which have shown an interest
in this theme and for which the outcomes of the
study will be highly relevant.
