Some Systems of HE in Europe (adapted from Teichler (1993))
Austria: focus on the traditional university (with Fachochschulen). Belgium: distinct institutions (University and Hautes Ecoles). Finland: move to a homogenous system (University and
Ammattikorkea-Koulu). France: diverse institutions (University and Grandes Ecoles). Germany: binary system with two distinct institutions (University
and Fachochschulen). Ireland: binary system with two distinct institutions Netherlands: distinct institutions (University and Hogescholen). Norway: a multitude of institutions (University and Statslige
hgskoler). UK: creation of a unitary system.
