Before the introduction of the Bologna system, different European study programmes taught different content and had different structures, making them difficult to compare. The creation of a unified structure of higher education in Europe has significantly increased transparency and comparability. This has also made it easier to compare and recognise qualifications, both in terms of undertaking further study in another European country, and for finding a job in the European labour market.
