Thematic Networks and the Tuning Project
1st February 2005
Julia González – Robert Wagenaar
Outline
• Tuning update
• Tuning and Thematic Networks: cooperation
• Types of Thematic Networks: specification of outcomes according to the different types
• Relevance of the cooperation
• Proposals in order to reach the outcomes
Tuning update
Tuning I (2000 – 2002) Tuning II (2002 – 2004) Tuning III (2005 – 2006)
- Disciplines - Countries - Outcomes
Tuning I
Disciplines
- Business- Education- Geology- History- Mathematics- Chemistry- Physics
Tuning I
Countries
15 EU countries +
Norway and Iceland
Tuning I
Outcomes• Proof of the possibility • Development of a useful tool for the
Universities to move towards EHEA• Creation of platforms of debate and
agreement • Development of roads for shared
understanding• Creation of a methodology for consensus
building in relation to Bologna degrees
OutcomesA methodology for consensus building in relation to Bologna degreeswhich was:
• Based on learning outcomes and competences
- generic and specific competences
- competences agreed
- competences used as reference points
- competences emerging from consultation with
academic, professional and social actors
• Student-centered, expressed in ECTS credits and workload
• With new approaches on learning and teaching • With a perspective on quality programme
enhancement
Tuning II
Disciplines
Tuning I +
Nursing and
European Studies
Tuning II
Countries
Tuning II
Outcomes• Further refinement and development of the
learning outcomes and competences in relation with QF
• Further development of ECTS in relation to learning outcomes
• Design of best practices in approaches to learning, teaching and evaluation of competences
• Further development on relevant issues in relation to programme quality enhancement
• Development of a template
Outcomes
Development of a template including:
• A discipline context• Map of professions• Degree profile• Learning outcomes and competences
(generic and subject specific)• Approaches to teaching, learning and
evaluation of these competences• Quality in programme design and
maintenance

Tuning III
Expected Outcomes
• Dissemination• Implementation• Further validation• New countries• New areas
Tuning and Thematic Networks: cooperation
What is new between the Thematic Networks and Tuning?
• From the beginning ...• Two Thematic Networks as core areas• Thematic Networks in the Tuning
Committees• Information through Tuning counsellors• Futher important step ...
Types of Thematic Networks: specification of outcomes according to the different types
1) Discipline-based Thematic Network Outcome desired: to be the Tuning reference for the
given area.
2) Multidisciplinary areas developing joint degrees Outcome desired: to develop Tuning methodology in
one or more of its joint degree programme
3) Thematic Networks with other purposes Outcome desired: knowledge, understanding and
awareness of the Tuning project
Relevance of the cooperation
• To be the Tuning reference for the given area - Programme identity - Mobility - Recognition
• In the context of QF: - Definition of profile - Identity of degrees in relation to subject areas - Specificity of reference learning outcomes and competences - Weights of workload and credits - Levels and approaches to learning • Validating and updating platforms

Proposals in order to reach the outcomes
Group 3: Thematic Networks with other purposes :
Continue with Tuning counsellors when needed
Group 2: Multidisciplinary areas developing joint
degrees
Create specific group for Tuning and joint degrees
Group 1: Discipline-based Thematic Network
Form two sets of Thematic Networks developing jointly
as in core Tuning areas
