It will install at latest in 2010 a European area for higher education where teachers, students and graduates will be able to move from one country to another whilst maintaining the recognition of their qualifications. This is a mini revolution, encouraging the total recognition and equivalence of qualifications, and in time it will bring about some major changes in the very structure of education. For example, in Belgium, some categories of longer studies previously reduced to four years will be extended to five to allow for more harmonisation, where undergraduate studies must last at least three years. We will also shift to a credit system (European Credit Transfer System) with points for attending lectures, practical work, training periods, research and personal work required to prepare for exams. Another consequence of Bologna will be the rationalisation of studies, to try and group disciplines previously dispersed between too many establishments.
