Abstract

[In all countries where a distinction is made between a college and a university sector, the question on how the relationship between the two organisational fields should be organised and regulated has been a recurrent topic of discussion. The idea that all higher education should be organised within a unified system with a common set of rules, however, has not found general support. In Western Europe, only Spain, the UK, and Iceland have incorporated most of their higher education programmes within the framework of institutions with university status. The majority of Western European countries have chosen to uphold the separation between a university and a college sector. Still, in some countries attempts have been made to bring the sectors closer to one another.]
