Abstract Structural reforms have been at the heart of the Bologna Process since its inception but coordination between the various areas of structural reforms has been weak. In its 2012 ? 15 programme, the Bologna Follow Up Group appointed a working group on structural reforms (SRWG) whose report was adopted by the BFUG in November 2014. The report includes recommendations concerning quality assurance, qualifications frameworks, recognition and transparency instruments. Above all, it brings the different policy areas together in a European area of transparency and recognition. The article provides an overview of the SWRG report and recommendations and places these within the broader context of higher education reforms and the future orientations of the European Higher Education Area.
