Internationalisierung im Hochschulwesen ausgewählter mittel- und osteuropäischer Staaten: Befunde, Trends und Probleme

This contribution discusses the internationalization of Central and Eastern Europe university systems following the political transformation after 1989/1990. This process of internationalization can be manifested in various ways. On the one hand, it may be reflected in courses of study, as for instance, by changing systems of granting credit, as well as by introducing newly oriented foreign language study programs. On the other hand, it may also be manifested by re-organizing the entire system at the level of international universities in the sense of diverse bi- oder multilateral elitist institutions. In addition, the Bologna process, started in 1999, is discussed in view of its role as a motor of the internationalization of university systems in the regions of Central and Eastern Europe.
