Chemistry Quality Eurolabels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chemistry Quality Eurolabels or European Quality Labels in Chemistry (Labels européens de Qualité en Chimie) is a marketing scheme for chemistry degrees at institutions located within the 45 countries involved in the Bologna process. Labels are awarded to qualifying institutions under the names are Eurobachelor and Euromaster, as well as the proposed Eurodoctorate. not only prepares for the proposals to award the Eurolabels but also judge the quality of chemical education programmes at HEIs. and its closely collaborates with EuCheMS and American Chemical Society.

It is a framework which is supported by EuCheMS, and the labels are awarded by . The project is supported by the European Commission (EC) through its SOCRATES programme. The purpose of the framework is to "promote recognition of , , and not only within the 45 countries involved in the Bologna process".

History[]

European Union promoted the Bologna process and the creation of a single European higher education area, both of which require mobility of graduates across Europe.

() worked in the EU project "" and developed Eurobachelor, a framework for a (first degree) in chemistry. EuCheMS approved Eurobachelor in October 2003.[1]

In June 2004 the "" approved Eurobachelor.[1]

Eurobachelor[]

Eurobachelor is a registered trademark and an initiative adopted by the EuCheMS General Assembly in 2003. It is associated with the Chemistry Quality Eurolabels. As of 8 April 2013, 60 Eurobachelor quality labels have been awarded. The label is intended for (bachelor's degrees).

Eurobachelor is based on 180 ECTS (), which is comparable to the three-year British degrees, but it does not include the British concepts of honours degrees and ordinary degrees.[1]

Euromaster[]

Euromaster is a registered trademark and an initiative adopted by the EuCheMS General Assembly in 2005. It is associated with the Chemistry Quality Eurolabels. As of 8 April 2013, 36 Euromaster quality labels have been awarded. The label is intended for master's degrees.

Euromaster, introduced after Eurobachelor, is intended for (postgraduate degrees).[2]

Eurodoctorate[]

Eurodoctorate is associated with the Chemistry Quality Eurolabels. As of 8 April 2013, 1 Eurodoctorate quality label was awarded. The label is intended for (i.e. doctoral degrees).[3]

The () discussed with a working party of ( Association) in a meeting held in February 2006 in Helsinki, Finland, taking into account the declarations of the . The , which was approved by the Ministers of Education of European Union member states in Bergen uses the and Tuning SAG decided to use the Dublin descriptors to form a new set of descriptors, the for third cycle qualifications.[3]

The version 1 was published in November 2006.
