I don&#x27;t agree with your perspective of Europe&#x27;s Bologna. Universities don&#x27;t need an European agreement to create shorter and shallower courses, in fact, Bologna doesn&#x27;t impose any kind of restrictions on the kind of courses the universities have.<p>And Bologna helps a lot with your education, by making higher education comparable between EU countries, you can easily apply for student exchange programs and study subjects that aren&#x27;t approached by your home university.<p>I studied in one of the best engineering university of Portugal and I studied for one semester in Sweden and although both universities were under the Bologna agreement, I could notice differences in both systems.<p>The only thing that Bologna imposes in universities is how many hours of effort is 1 course credit (ECTS). Course content, organization and etc, is up to each university.
