Summary/Abstract: An our insight of our into some social sciences and humanities study programmmes at the University of Sarajevo has shown that they are generally not based on outcomes of learning / studding. One can guess more than you clearly identify generic or general competencies (those that are transmittable in different areas of sciences, fields or branches). Learning/studding outcomes Formulation, both at the level of study programs and on various subjects, are unclear or incomplete, imprecise or difficult to verify. In particular, study programmes are poorly acquainted with levels of learning /studding outcomes. Out of logical sequence of study one cannot see gradual deriving of outcomes from courses. One cannot say that importance of learning/studding outcomes at both at the level of programmes, and at the level of subjects and study modules clearly noticed.This fact may to the large extent explain the strange educational mixtures of wrong, or wrongly perceived, Bologna educational offer with the old educational solutions. In higher education’s practice, this creates a hybrid procedure in the implementation of the Bologna educational offers. The low definition or absence of studies outcome is preventing the offer of various innovative and creative combination of study groups, the study models and elective courses. In this way, no account is taken for the labor market and the employment. This is also an important reason of practical for non-recognizing of professional profiles that some faculties offer. Even the role of some courses, within the profiling of the academic qualifying / competitive expertise is rather dubious. This paper's goal is just not drawing attention to these problems, but pointing out the need and possibilities of creating study programmes that would be based on competencies, and the learning / studding outcomes. And most importantly, the paper trying to draw public attention to the academic outcomes of learning / studying in Bologna educational offer marked as an important quality assurance instrument and that, in our conditions, have exceptional importance in the struggle for knowledge, not titles.
