Abstract
Higher education institutions, which have a history of nearly a century, have survived until today with the great changes they have gone through. Due to the intense changes in recent periods, the importance of higher education has increased more and efforts to access information and to become an information society has gained momentum. The Turkish higher education system is also in an effort to keep up with this change and development. The aim of this study was to discuss the impact of the Bologna process within the scope of the restructuring of higher education studies in Turkey. Our mission is to offer solutions to the problems encountered in our higher education system and the growth of our higher education worldwide. The research was conducted using the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research designs. The decisions of the Bologna process, the reports on universities published by organizations such as METU Informatics Institute URAP Research Laboratory, HEEACT, US News & World Report were analyzed and various comparisons were made. It is clear that Turkish higher education will grow in the upcoming periods and increase its importance in world higher education. It can be said that in order to achieve this situation, our universities need a strong paradigm shift towards the needs of society and changes in the world.
