Aims of the tiered system

The aims of the tiered higher-education system can be summarised as follows:
  • Increased flexibility for courses and programmes;
  • Improved international comparability of the completed programmes;
  • Increasing the students' mobility and the attractiveness of the offered programmes for international students.
This new higher-education system offers the possibility of redesigning the interface between a completed degree programme and further qualifications, thereby making the shift between working and studying phases more flexible.

In addition, organising higher education in a more tiered way improves the possibility of adapting it to the changes in the labour market and the requirements of lifelong learning. The entailed diversification of the courses offered is more in keeping with the heterogeneous demands of the students and the needs of the business world.
