Higher Education Policy and Institutional Autonomy in Hungarian Higher Education 2010–2013

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on Hungarian higher education policy changes and governance between 2010 and 2013. In the first part, the government’s goals regarding higher education as well as the position and importance of higher education in the governmental structure will be analysed; in the second part, based on major decisions and changes, the author looks at how the dimensions of institutional autonomy have evolved in the last three years. One of the main findings is that the position of higher education has become weakened in part because responsibilities for higher education have become over-divided amongst ministries. In higher education policy, the narrative of employability becomes dominant; additionally, the restructuring of higher education has been done via centralization, direct interventions and by a strengthening of control over institutions, and also by lessening the autonomy of institutions, especially as regards their financial and organizational autonomy.
