Popis: The European Union Bologna Process is a significant agent for internationalization of education. Acknowledging fiscal and political drivers, this article shows that Bologna inclusion of the doctoral degree offers potential for enhanced doctoral experience. Interest in transferability of doctoral education across national borders, standardization of degree credit ratings and promotion of best practice offers potential advantages, responsibilities and dimensions of activity to institutions and to individuals. We emphasize increased opportunities for cooperation and collaboration with a personal case study. We consider standards and standardization; the relationship between world and learner; language and writing issues; and global interest in the Bologna process.
