| Title | Access to Master Level in the European Higher Education Area: the Case of Croatia |
| Summary | The Bologna process and its introduction of the three-cycle degree structure into its signatories’ higher education systems have been beneficial, but not without problems. One of the problems has been the issue of access to the second cycle or the master level of studies. This level is expected to fulfill the obligation of providing further education to bachelor graduates who cannot find entry into the labor market without a master degree, but also to be flexible enough to promote international, national, disciplinary and social mobility. How this works in practice has been insufficiently explored and this thesis partially fills the gap by extrapolating and analyzing admissions criteria to master programs at the University of Zagreb in Croatia, which has been placed among the bottom four countries in the EHEA for its implementation of access to the second cycle. University of Zagreb’s use of numerus clausus and overwhelming reliance on bachelor GPA and bachelor degree type restrictions impede access and mobility and need to be complemented by a greater variety of selection criteria. |
