Global University Rankings,Transnational Policy Discourse and Higher Education in Europe

Global university rankings have portrayed European higher education institutions in varying lights, leading to intense reflection on the figures on the EU and national levels alike. The rankings have helped to construct a policy problem of ‘European higher education’, framing higher education as an element of competitiveness in a global economy. This has also allowed the European Commission to become a key policy actor in higher education that was not traditionally within its mandate. The global university rankings can be seen as a transnational policy discourse that has different variants at a national level, owing to the historical narratives and public values of each state. But the policy prescriptions of the rankings are taking surprisingly similar forms in different countries and have informed reform agendas throughout Europe. At a general level, the rankings are contributing to a convergence in higher education policies in Europe. [...]

Institutional Profiles: towards a typology of higher education institutions in europe

In November 2004, a team of researchers conceived a research project that aimed to explore the value of designing a typology of higher education institutions in Europe. The starting point was the assumption that the strength of the European higher education system lies in the diversity of its institutions. We argue that a better understanding of the various types of institutions, their different missions, characteristics and provisions, will support mobility, inter-institutional cooperation and the recognitions of degrees in Europe – hence the international competitiveness and attractiveness of European higher education. The creation of a typology of higher education institutions is a promising instrument towards enhancing this understanding. It should reveal the institutional profiles of Europe’s rich higher education landscape while respecting the diversities and characteristics of its institutions.

Quellen:
The overall aim of this research projects is to develop a proposal for a typology of higher education institutions in Europe. This aim includes the following objectives: To assess the need for a typology of higher education institutions. To carry out a study on theory and practice of classifying institutions. To develop a conceptual model upon which a typology of higher education institutions can be developed. To propose an appropriate set of criteria for a typology of higher education institutions. To propose recommendations fort he implementation of a typology of higher education institutions in Europe.

The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education

Higher education institutions can be classified according to the functions they perform, the number of students they accept and the type of education programmes they offer. Other conceivable characteristics according to which they can be grouped include the market position as well as the perceived quality and prestige they enjoy. In the presentation at hand, Alexander McCormick presents one such classification scheme that has become quite influential: »The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education«. After tracing the origins of the first classification of 1973 and its unexpected rise to a national classifier he introduces the main design principles. Moreover, he presents the new version of the scheme that was put forward in 2005/06 after unintended policies had been designed on the basis of the earlier version.
