Abstract

The three EU member states Germany, Italy, and Portugal have implemented measures of the Bologna process as a common strategy, wherefrom different situations concerning the organisation of study programmes related to adult education have developed in these three different country-specific contexts. This paper takes a closer look at the opportunities for academic professionalisation provided by university studies in adult education at the bachelor’s and master’s level in each country. From a structural point of view, a comparative analysis will show differences in the amount of contents related to adult education at the bachelor’s level compared to the master’s level. Furthermore, it will be considered which possibilities for and types of personal development exist in these degree courses.
