The Bologna Process is a commitment by 45 European countries (an approximately equal number of European Union and non-European Union countries) to undertake a series of reforms in order to achieve greater consistency and portability of qualifications across their Higher Education systems.

Details of Australia's response to the Bologna Process can be found at the Australian Education International web site (opens in a new browser).
