Curriculum Development for a Christian University: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

The higher education landscape has been undergoing tremendous changes in the last few decades. In 1999, Europe embarked on what has come to be known as the Bologna process, marking remarkable changes in higher education in Europe and beyond as other regions have borrowed from the experience. The Bologna process brought about harmonization of higher education and the creation of many body corporates to deal with higher education in Europe. This includes organisations such as the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), the European University Association (EUA), European Students Union (ESU), and European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE), among others. One of the objectives of the Bologna process was the creation of a higher education area in which students can transfer credit from one institution to another in any of the member countries.
