• A three-cycle system compatible with the overarching framework of qualifications of the EHEA and first and second cycle degrees scaled by ECTS,
• Compliance with the Lisbon Recognition Convention,
• Quality assurance in compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area.

European Higher Education Area

The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is a unique international collaboration on higher education comprises of 49 member countries from Europe and beyond. All the Higher Education Institutions in the EHEA use the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), providing a shared framework for accrediting courses and degrees.
These 49 countries adopt reforms on higher education on the basis of common key values– such as freedom of expression, autonomy for institutions, independent student unions, academic freedom, free movement of students and staff. Through this process, countries, institutions and stakeholders of the European area continuously adapt their higher education systems making them more compatible and strengthening their quality assurance mechanisms.
Switzerland has been a full member of the Bologna Process / European Higher Education Area since 1999.
