New Eurydice publication: Validation of non-formal and informal learning in higher education in Europe

The Eurydice Network has published the report “Validation of non-formal and informal learning in higher education in Europe”.

Building on the 2012 Council Recommendation on the validation of non-formal and informal learning as well as the objectives set within the Bologna Process, this report examines how higher education systems across Europe recognise and validate learning outcomes from non-formal and informal learning. More specifically, the report investigates whether this validation:

- facilitates entry into higher education study programmes;

- provides opportunities for fulfilling higher education study requirements.

The report covers 37 European education systems and builds on qualitative data from the academic year 2023/2024.
