Mighty urban assemblages and sprawling city-regions now occupy substantial portions of the Earth’s surface; new forms of urban political-economic governance proliferate by the day, if sometimes reinventing older tactics of ‘violent’ control; yawning gulfs of wealth, resources, status and influence continue to divide ‘city rich’ from ‘city poor’, the former often fiercely parasitical on the latter; multiple varieties of urban cultural life-worlds spread across the globe as well as jostling together cheek-by-jowl in particular urban centres; and countless new challenges – technical, political, ethical, environmental – rebound throughout the urban realm, demanding the inventiveness of planners and politicians, activists and citizens, dreamers and doers, scholars and researchers. In this context, the need for high-quality urban studies scholarship and grounded urban research is paramount and arguably growing, which is why we are convinced that the efforts of the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) are timely, relevant and potentially highly significant.

  • Student Power in Medieval Universities
    • Student Power In Medieval Universities V. R. CARDOZIER Current student power efforts have precedent in medieval universities, pri­ marily at Bologna, which was a completely student-dominated university. The university government was composed of students only, except for the chancellor, a church appointee whose power was limited largely to awarding degrees. Professors were required to abide by student-approved regulations, to swear obedience to the (student) rector, and to follow procedures pre­ scribed by students in conduct of classes. Either by church or royal decree, students enjoyed privileges unknown today, such as freedom from taxation and military service, often freedom from arrest and trial in civil courts, and other considerations.

    HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA ARCHIMEDES FOUNDATION Estonian Academic Recognition Information Centre HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA Fourth Edition TALLINN 2010 Compiled and edited by: Gunnar Vaht Liia Tüür Ülla Kulasalu With the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme/NARIC action of the European Union Cover design and layout: AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus ISBN 978-9949-9062-6-0 HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA PREFACE The current publication is the fourth edition of Higher Education in Es- tonia. The first edition was compiled in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Education in 1998, the second and the third (revised) edition appeared in 2001 and 2004 respectively. This edition has been considerably revised and updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in the course of higher education reforms in general, and in the systems of higher education cycles and qualifications in particular, including the changes in the quality assess- ment procedures. The publication is an information tool for all those concerned with higher education in its international context. It contains information about the Estonian higher education system and the higher education institutions, meant primarily for use by credential evaluation and recognition bodies, such as recognition information centres, higher education institutions and employers. This information is necessary for a better understanding of Estonian qualifications and for their fair recognition in foreign countries. Taking into account the fact that credential evaluators and competent recogni- tion authorities in other countries will come across qualifications of the former systems, this book describes not only the current higher educa- tion system and the corresponding qualifications, but also the qualifica- tions of the former systems beginning with the Soviet period.
