The Bologna process might sound as a rather administrative process which does not have a direct impact on people’s lives, but in reality it has changed mine. Wikipedia defines the Bologna process as “a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher-education qualifications.” In practical terms, it allowed me, an ordinary student from a non-European country with modest English level, just like thousands of other students, to come to an EU-country to study and build my life around it.
