The Eu- ropean Higher Education Area (EHEA) proclaimed by politicians and visionaries is now becoming a reality. Even though not all the objectives are being achieved as originally envisaged, the change since 2000 is indeed signifi- cant and more is to come by 2010. The move to a two-tier degree system throughout Europe is a major change. All Finnish students whose studies com- menced in autumn 2005 or later are required to take the bachelor’s degree before completing the master’s. Studies are now measured in terms of Finnish credits, OP, (literally ‘study points’) which are ECTS compatible. This was preceded by a core analysis of the precise amount of work on the part of the student in order to define the extent or credit requirement in courses and modules. It is moreover a requirement of the Ministry of Education, Finland that degrees should be completed in less time and that more efficient use should be made of the time available in an academic year. The University of Tampere has responded by dividing the semesters into two periods. Supervision of students

There are also so called Konservatorien in Austria that offer professional music education funded by the provinces or on a private basis. They are able to issue diplomas equivalent to university degrees, although they do not award Bachelor and Master degrees according to the Bologna structure yet. Their focus is also slightly more on the education on pre‐college level. Out of those institutions, two became private universities (Privatuniversitäten). Those two institutions are able to award a Bachelor and Master degree as well. In the 2002 winter term, some 60 Bachelor study programmes were actually run at arts universities. 11% of all types of studies offered are teacher training studies. Doctoral study programmes are run at all arts universities. Students of arts universities must pass an admission test.

  • Svensk– Engelsk
    SVENSK– ENGELSK ORDBOK för utbildningsområdet REDIGERAD OCH PUBLICERAD AV INTERNATIONELLA PROGRAMKONTORET PÅ UTBILDNINGSDEPARTEMENTETS UPPDRAG Innehållsförteckning 1. Inledning 2. Ordbok 3. Skolrelaterade uttryck 4. Förklaringar 5. Examina inom högskolan 6. Gymnasieskolans program 7. Fler ordlistor Inledning Denna ordbok är en reviderad version av Svensk-engelsk ordbok, Utbildningsdepartementet 2003. Ordboken är tänkt att vara ett stöd både för dem som beställer översättningar och för dem som själva skriver texter på engelska eller på annat sätt informerar om det svenska utbildningssystemet på engelska. Ordboken gör inte anspråk på att omfatta samtliga termer inom utbildnings- och forskningsområdet. I slutet av ordboken finns tips på övriga ordböcker/ordlistor. För högskoleområdet är översättningarna genomgående hämtade från den elektroniska ordboken, Svensk-engelsk ordbok för högre utbildning, Högskoleverket Oftast är flera översättningar korrekta rent språkligt, men vissa översättningar beskriver den svenska situationen bättre och är därför att föredra. Om flera översättningsmöjligheter anges, rekommenderar vi användningen av det första alternativet i Ordboken innehåller även en kort förteckning över skolrelaterade engelska ord och uttryck samt deras svenska översättning. Det är ord som ofta förekommer i engelska texter men som inte har en självklar översättning eller som kan orsaka andra problem vid översättning till svenska. Vissa termer har markerats med en asterisk. Det handlar om termer som beskriver specifikt svenska förhållanden och som därför kan behöva förklaras i översättningen. En förteckning över dessa termer återfinns i slutet av ordboken. Översättningen av ett och samma ord skiljer sig i vissa fall åt beroende på skolform och utbildningsnivå, och ett typexempel är ”rektor”. För dessa ord har vi angett vad som gäller inom skolan (skol), inom högskolan (univ), inom vuxenutbildningen (vux) respektive inom folkhögskolan (fhsk).
