Interior design education: quo vadis?

Abstract

Over the past ten years higher education has witnessed proposals for drastic change both nationally and internationally. On the international front, the Bologna Declaration was signed on 19 June 1999. This Declaration launched the Bologna Process, involving 46 European countries, which agreed to undertake a series of reforms with the intention of creating an integrated European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by 2010 (Australia 2006). Two of the objectives of the Bologna Process are to establish a common degree structure across Europe and to ensure that the EHEA is open and attractive to the rest of the world (Europe Unit [sa]).
