National systems of higher education, Higher education policy, Curriculum design and development. A survey on the implementation of the Bologna process in Portugal For several years Portuguese HEIs had been waiting for the legislation framework allowing to implement the Bologna process. The recent passing of such legislation has resulted in the unexpected flood of proposals presented at very short notice by HEIs to the Ministry. It is possible that such fast implementation rate corresponds to implementation “in form ” rather than “in substance”, thus softening tensions between the European and the national and local levels. This hypothesis will be tested by means of the outcomes of a survey conducted to all HEIs that have presented proposals of Bologna-type degree programmes or adaptations of old degree programmes
