siderable growth is expected in the percentage of first-year students enrolling in Bachelorand Master degree programmes. By 2004/05, 43% of institutions expect more than 15% offirst years to enrol in B/M. Universities and TUs anticipate a slightly higher percentage ofnew enrolments in Bachelor and Master programmes than do FHs 44 . Both of the privateinstitutions indicated that their institutions anticipate more than 30% of first-year studentsto be enrolled in Bachelor and Master programmes in both of the time periods.Table 21: Estimated percentage of first-year students enrolling in Bachelor and Master programmesin 2001/02 and 2004/05, all institutions surveyedPercentage of first-year students enrolling inB/M programmes (estimated)2001/02 2004/050% 21% 3%1-5% 41% 15%6-15% 26% 39%16-30% 9% 30%More than 30% 3% 13%Note: n=120 (the number of respondents that filled in answers for both time periods). Source: CHEPS/CHE Survey data.4.3.4 Degree of innovationOur survey asked to what degree the introduction of B/M has been used by institutions forinnovation in terms of curricula or subject areas. As can be seen in the table below, themajority of respondents in all three main sectors indicated that the Bachelor and Masterdegree programmes are based on existing curricula, but that there have been some structuraland methodological changes. Around a quarter of the respondents in all three sectors, aswell as both respondents from private institutions, indicated that new subject areas and curriculahave been introduced as a result of the introduction of these degrees. Only four respondentsindicated that the introduction of Bachelor and Master degrees consisted of renamingexisting programmes.Table 22: Innovations resulting from the introduction of Bachelor and Master degrees, bysector; number and percentage of the sector givenPredominantlynew subjectareas/ curriculaPredominantlychanges inmethod/ structurePredominantlyre-naming ofexisting programmesEntirely differentbetweensubject areasno responseFH 15 (27%) 31 (55%) 2 (4%) 5 (9%) 3 (5%)Uni 14 (25%) 33 (59%) 1 (2%) 5 (9%) 3 (5%)TU 4 (25%) 11 (69%) 1 (6%) -- --Source: CHEPS/CHE Survey data.44 The data from our survey is not, of course, directly comparable to that of the Statistisches Bundesamt. Oursurvey does not take into account the different sizes of the institutions which answered our questions, and sothe percentages here only indicate the number of institutions which anticipate first-year enrolments in B/Mprogrammes, and do not tell us how many students each institute anticipates. In spite of these differences,however, it is interesting to note that universities and TUs anticipate first-year B/M enrolments as high orhigher than those expected by FHs.36
4.3.5 New forms of deliveryOur survey asked the respondents in what ways they intended to use the introduction ofB/M in order to enhance flexibility in delivering their programmes. More specifically, weasked management whether or not they planned to offer Bachelor and Master programmespart-time, by distance learning, and combining working and learning (dual programmes). InChapter 3, we presented data from the HSK showing that so far, only a negligible percentageof B/M are delivered part-time (1%), by distance-learning (1%), and combining workingand learning (dual programmes, 3%). It is therefore interesting to see if this is likely tochange in the future.Table 23: Intended introduction of Bachelor and Master programmes via flexible types oflearning (part-time, distance, and dual), number and percentage, by level of programme(Master and Bachelor) and by type of institutionBachelorPart-time 30MasterFH Uni TU FH Uni TU(54%)no part-time 15(27%)no answer 11(20%)Distance 19(34%)no distance 21(38%)no answer 16(29%)Dual 28(50%)no dual 16(29%)no answer 12Source: CHEPS/CHE Survey data.(21%)27(50%)22(40%)6(11%)18(33%)29(53%)8(15%)11(20%)34(62%)10(18%)6(38%)9(56%)1(6%)5(31%)10(63%)1(6%)5(31%)10(63%)1(6%)38(67%)10(18%)8(14%)26(47%)16(29%)14(25%)24(43%)19(34%)13(23%)27(49%)20(36%)8(15%)22(40%)25(46%)8(15%)8(15%)34(62%)13(24%)13(81%)2(13%)1(6%)10(62%)6(38%)--6(37%)9(56%)Overall, the numbers concerning plans for the future are much higher than the present supply.Some differences between sectors were found in terms of the popularity of these programmes.Part-time study programmes were more frequently planned at the Masters than atthe Bachelors level (across sectors 47% and 59%, respectively, report planning to implementsome part-time programmes 45 ). Distance programmes are also being planned some-1(6%)45 Total number of institutions here is 136.37
