The article deals with the theoretical analysis of the problem of internationalization of higher education in the context of introducing reforms of the Bologna process in the European region and, in particular, in Ukraine; the historical periods of formation of the internationalization of higher education from the moment of the first European universities emerged; it was determined that universities at their institutional level are important participants in internationalization and, in accordance with local specifics, their understanding of the objectives of ensuring the quality of education and development priorities must develop their own strategies for internationalization; on the example of the Grinchenko University it is substantiated that the development of the institutional strategy of internationalization is one of the key priorities of the development of university education in Ukraine. Modern information and communication technologies, the rapid development of distance learning, the growing popularity of Internet universities form a single world educational market in which higher education institutions from different countries of the world, without restricting themselves national borders, offer their services in conditions of strict international competition. The processes of Ukraine’s integration into the world educational space, in particular its accession to the Bologna Process, determine the creation of a competitive sphere of Ukrainian higher education. The urgency of the problem of internationalization, which reflects the idea of openness of education and science in the world and has significant modernizing potential, lays the foundation for its scientific reflection on the integration into the national context of the best international standards of higher education quality. These imperatives should serve as a guideline for the institutional strategy of internationalization as a key priority for the development of university education in Ukraine in order to increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian higher education institutions and their integration into the European educational space.

In recent years attention to quality of studies is not decreasing. Lots of different level and type articles have been written, books and other literature have been published. On the other hand, over the last few years different national, regional and international science conferences and symposiums took place. So, it is obvious, that the concern in the university study quality is really huge. However, the essence of the matter lies somewhere deeper. The main goals, formulated in Bologna declaration, had to be implemented by 2010. However, now it becomes clear, that some of the vitally important things were not realised and there are more and more doubts if they will, on the whole, be carried through. The Bologna process itself is not sought to be analysed. What interests us firstly, is the quality of studies’ management question. Various researches reveal that the university study quality in some countries has significantly decreased even measuring according to the most minimal criteria. First of all, this is because most universities are oriented into providing service. It is known, that service University is not capable to ensure the proper quality of the studies and of provided education at the same time. Mass universities meant for mass usage. University education is more and more “Mc.Donaldized” (Lamanauskas, 2011a). Thus, the problem of the quality of studies remains the key problem in nowadays university work. It is understandable, that different countries have different experience in this field both in horizontal and vertical sense. The quality of studies conception despite all efforts remains diverse and has multiple meanings. Paraphrasing a familiar soviet times’ statement (“from everyone – according to possibilities, for everyone – according to demands”), one can state, that higher education can’t be provided according to demands, and it can’t be required from graduates according to their abilities and possibilities. Massification of higher education in a direct way negatively affects the quality of studies (process), as well as higher education quality (result). This is the essential risk in university management. Key words: education policy, quality of studies, management, university education system.

The aim of the paper is to analyse decisions of first degree graduates concerning continuation of their education on second-degree programmes. One of the changes introduced by the Bologna process was a division of university programmes for the first-degree (bachelor’s degree) and seconddegree (master’s degree) programmes. As a result, a new educational threshold has appeared in the course of higher education and at that threshold students decide whether to continue education and if so, which university and programme to choose. All choices involve various costs and benefits, both to be experienced immediately, as well as those that students plan to achieve or incur in the future. The article presents data on the decisions regarding the continuation of studies in the context of the assumptions of rational choice theory: methodological individualism and rationality of actors. The analysed data come from registers of the University of Warsaw. The most common decision of first-degree graduates at the University is not to change anything: either the programme or mode of study. This result will be explained in the context of assumptions about the preferences of the students.

The Bologna process aims to create a European Higher Education Area by 2010, in which university studies are comparable and compatible and degrees more transparent. Its priority is the introduction of the three-cycle system Bachelor — Master — Doctorate. At the University of Leipzig a project was launched to connect the implementation of the new structures with the establishment of a programme in interlinguistics and Esperanto studies. In the winter semester 2007/2008 a compulsory-optional module with the title Universal Languages was taught, consisting of a weekly lecture, seminar and a language course Esperanto. It was an initiative of the Gesellschaft für Interlinguistik e.V. and financially supported by the Esperantic Studies Foundation. The paper reports on the structure, contents and results of the module and draws conclusions for similar initiatives at other European universities.

‘Global patterns of higher education’ looks at the different types of education system globally. Although virtually every country has its own national higher education system, and each of these national systems has its own peculiarities (and most national systems contain considerable variations within them), scholars of higher education have defined a number of system types: the Humboldtian model, which emphasizes the integration of teaching and research; the ‘Napoleonic’ model of France; the Anglo-Saxon model; the US’s Ivy League and intensive research model; and an emerging Confucian model in Asia. The relationship between the state and the university and college is also considered along with the Bologna Process of international convergence.

A universidade brasileira do século XXI tem enfrentado adversidades multidimensionais no âmbito do ensino e da pesquisa. Sua estabilidade tem percorrido um labirinto de inferências que a impede de adentrar o espaço educativo para se desenvolver em um processo educacional que atenta à sua função social e humanística, perante uma sociedade desacreditada de possibilidades superadoras. Nesse sentido, buscamos fazer uma reflexão da transição do paradigma conservador para paradigma emergente e sua influência no contexto da universidade do século XXI na perspectiva de uma visão complexa da realidade contemporânea. Buscamos contextualizar a universidade como protagonista na construção de um novo paradigma para educação. O repensar das instituições de ensino superior a partir do Processo de Bolonha tendo em vista uma educação superior voltada para competitividade  e para a competência profissional.

Its stability has gone through a labyrinth of inferences that prevents it from entering the educational space to develop in an educational process that attentive to its social and humanistic function, before a discredited society of surpassing possibilities. In this sense, we seek to reflect on the transition from the conservative paradigm to the emerging paradigm and its influence in the context of the 21st century university in the perspective of a complex view of contemporary reality. We seek to contextualize the university as protagonist in the construction of a new paradigm for education. The rethinking of higher education institutions from the Bologna Process towards higher education focused on competitiveness and professional competence. The challenges of the university for this century in both the philosophical and epistemological aspects in the perception of human complexity and the relevance of knowledge by overcoming fragmented and compartmentalized knowledge, collaborating for self-knowledge and for dialogue between knowledge.   KEYWORDS: Traditional Paradigm.
