The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 A Bad Mistake \u2013 2<\/p>\n
Ten years ago, the European Union concluded the so-called Bologna Reform, which unified the form of university studies across the continent. By last year, around three-quarters of the twelve thousand courses of study at German universities had been converted to the new (for Germany) system of granting bachelor and master\u2019s degrees. From the very beginning there was resistance to these changes, in whole and in part, sometimes even in the form of student protests. It is only now, however, ten years later, that education policy makers in Germany are finally reacting.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Steinfeld, Thomas, \u201eEin Irrtum wie die Rechtschreibreform\u201c, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 11 December 2009.<\/p>\n *In the area of engineering\/technology and computer sciences, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked with twenty-two other universities at 78 or below, well beneath such institutions as the Technical University of Denmark.
