Croatian higher education institutions and the Bologna process 10 years upon its implementation

One of the main objectives of the Bologna Declaration is to enhance the quality of higher education based on the comparability of higher education systems of various countries by developing common standards and evaluation criteria in order to create an attractive European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This paper examines, based on the experience of individuals heading different higher education institutions (HEI) in Croatia, the extent to which the principles of the Bologna process have been implemented from its introduction up to date. The authors developed a questionnaire regarding the Bologna Declaration principles and distributed it to all HEI chairs. The 16 obtained responses indicate the existence of encouraging aspects but also of those limiting the achievement of “Bologna” objectives. The respondents claim that the implementation of the Bologna Declaration has contributed to and increased mobility, which is very valuable, but they also find that the common system of credits (ECTS) has not sufficiently enhanced the quality of study programs and the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area.
