Summary/Abstract: Bologna process presents us with a challenge: how to ensure both the comparability of learning outcomes and preserve the diversity of education in an integrated Europe? The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is going to be a tool for dealing with this task. Qualification is defined as a title, degree, etc., identified with the corresponding diploma, certificate or other document, issued after a certain stage of education, certifying that one obtained the intended learning outcomes. It is determining learning outcomes which should be the starting point for the organization of the educational process. Transition of European higher education system to education based on outcomes (outcome-based approach – OBA) is a fact. Still, the idea of OBA presents some doubts. For example, will not focusing on getting results kill ‘academic’ aspect of education, responsible for broadening horizons? Will not it (the transition process) transform an academy into something resembling higher vocational school?
