Summary/Abstract: The article looks at the results of research carried out in 11 different departments of 6 higher education institutions (3 of them in Budapest and 3 in the countryside) and additionally among employers working in the neighbourhood of these institutions. The basic question the article tackles is the adaptation of higher education institutions to the Bologna objectives: it aims to clarify which organizational and structural characteristics enhance - and which ones hinder - the bringing to fruition of experience-orientated education at the Bachelor level. The author concludes that the most important condition of successful adaptation to the new situation is the strategic coordination of conflicting interests and related resources within individual higher education organizations.
