EURASHE is involved in Mission of Professional Higher Education through its activities linked to the mission and role of professional higher education, entrepreneurship, university-business cooperation.
Underneath are further information on our activities in the area:
EURASHE as the main representative of professional higher education (PHE) in Europe sees as its mission to lead an harmonisation process of the sector across the EHEA. In order to do so, the HAPHE project has been launched in 2012 working on ‘harmonising approaches to professional higher education in Europe’. Together with our member experts, we established the Task Force on the Mission of PHE, EURASHE will continue developing initiatives and supporting its members in strengthening the sector on national and European level.
The term professional higher education cannot easily be defined. From the current absence of any categorisation we may conclude that PHE is just part of higher education and therefore operates within the same triangle of education, research and services to the community. PHE can occur in all kinds of institutions in the broad spectrum of academic, professional and vocational strands, in the same way as it can be offered in several modes of learning (including the traditional ones). Identifying academic institutions with ‘highly theoretical courses’ and professionally orientated institutions and programmes with ‘practical skills development or training’ means to disregard the fact that the comprehensive universities have offered and continue to offer vocational trainings such as for prospective physicians, dentists, veterinary surgeons and architects, which are all ‘professionals’ in their own right. In past decades, we could witness various convergent and divergent processes in higher education, which have had an influence on what is perceived as professional versus academic higher education.
PHE may play an important role as an intermediary between higher education, vocational education and training and the labour market. In particular, PHE institutions are – in a way – ‘bilingual’; they speak both the academic and professional language, and can thus be key players in the process of a better understanding between higher education and the world of work. To attain this aim, it is important to elaborate multidimensional characteristics of PHE with adequate indicators of good practice or even excellence, and to make a comparative review of existing higher education structures in European countries, identifying also problems and weak points of present systems.
