Consecutive studies as a measure of the implementation of the Bologna Process

Abstract

The implementation of the Bologna system in Poland, and in particular the separation of first- and second-cycle programs, led to significant changes in curricula and the organization of the teaching process. One of the goals of this process – called mobility – gave students the opportunity to change universities after obtaining their first-cycle diploma. This article presents the results of analyses of this process, broken down by university type (defined based on their membership in conferences of rectors of various types of universities). Significant variation in this process depending on the type of university is demonstrated, as well as – in the case of polytechnics and universities – the relationship between the intensity of this process and the ranking of higher education institutions.
