Conclusions on University Sis. in Europe

Part 5 - Continuing from "University System in Europe" - by Anne-Marie D It's baffling to me how the European Union plans to unify its university diploma's and levels of education- in Germany you need to follow 8 years of accelerated secondary education before even being admitted to University, and then after 4 years (most often longer) at a Fachhochschule you obtain a Bachelors degree, while in Spain you have only 2 years of dedicated university-preparatory education and in 2 years you can obtain a Doctorado. And then I'm not even starting about the Babylonian speech confusion that arises from 'Doctorados' having nothing to do with 'Doctorates' and the mysterious 'Firsts' actually referring to a sub-qualification of a Honours-degree which is only really a Bachelors degree just with a certain grade average. Oh how do I love 'diversity'...
