Source text - German Viele Hochschulen, insbesondere die Fachhochschulen, nutzen die Chancen, die das geänderte Gesetz bietet: Sie entwickeln völlig neue Studiengänge, international, interdisziplinär, kürzer, flexibler. Sie modularisieren Lehrveranstaltungen, vergeben so genannte Credit Points, integrieren Praktika, Computerkurse und Sprachen. Neue Zielgruppen, wie ausländische Studierende und Berufstätige, werden angesprochen, ehemalige Ausbildungsberufe etwa aus dem Gesundheitsbereich akademisiert. Das neue Hochschulgesetz, so scheint es, hat einen großen Reformwillen freigelegt. “Der Zündfunke ist übergesprungen”, sagt der Münchner Geschichtsprofessor Winfried Schulze, der vor zweieinhalb Jahren in seiner damaligen Funktion als Präsident des Wissenschaftsrates die neuen Studiengänge ausdrücklich empfahl. “Da ist viel in Bewegung gekommen”, betont auch Heidrun Jahn, die für das Institut für Hochschulforschung (HoF) der Universität Halle-Wittenberg die Erprobung der gestuften Studiengänge wissenschaftlich begleitet hat – aber dabei seien eben auch “alle Probleme der Hochschulen neu aufgekocht worden”. Und die Suppe, die dabei entstand, will noch nicht allen so recht schmecken.
Translation - English Many institutions of higher education, especially technical and practically-orientated colleges, are taking advantage of the opportunity that a revised law offers. They are developing completely new, international, multidisciplinary, shorter and more flexible degree programmes. They are organising lectures and seminars into modules, awarding credits (previously unheard of), and integrating work experience, computer courses and languages. New target groups such as foreign students and the employed are being appealed to; former vocational training – in the health sector for example – is being made more academic. The new higher education legislation, so it seems, has revealed a considerable appetite for reform. “The cogs are turning”, says the history professor from Munich Winfried Schulze who emphatically recommended the new degree programmes two and half years ago in the position he then held as president of the German Science and Humanities Council. “There's a lot going on there”, emphasises Heidrun Jahn, who has researched the trial phase of the tiered degree programmes for the Halle-Wittenberg University’s Institute for Higher Education Research, but in the process “all the problems with institutions of higher education have resurfaced”. And the overall result of this is not yet to everyone's taste.
