Future Development of Higher Education in Europe
There are arguments that the increased diversification of higher education in Europe has strong proponents outside the continent than in Europe itself.

Additionally, analyzing factors that relate to the current trends in the higher education will be a basis for establishing alternative means in research development. This will in turn assist in designing effective research approaches that aimed at analyzing the main elements and causes for future trends (Teichler, 2008).
