The Evolution of an European Stage for Higher Education Caused by the Policy of the European Union
Summary
The article describes the higher educa-tion policy of the European Union and tries to analyse some of the impacts. The first part deals with the historical development of European higher education policy, starting with the first intergovernmental cooperations, continuing with the increase of competences for the European Union and culminating with the institutionalisation of higher education policy on an European level by the Maastricht Treaties. The second part gives a more detailed description of the different European programme schemes for education. The third part analyses the value of these programmes from the point of view of four different actors: the students, the education institutions, the member states and the European Union.
