In this paper, I analyse the steps taken in Spain to converge before 2010 with the framework set out by the 'Bologna Declaration' and the principles that govern the << European Area of Higher Education >>>>. In particular, I refer to the studies in << Business Administration)>>. Existing regulation requires Full integration of the Spanish higher education system with the European Area of Higher Education >>, having regulated the general aspects of the process. Taking this regulation as a starting point, I will refer to the general principles that are being used to design the now curricula required in the different degrees existing in the area under analysis, as well as the subjects, modules and areas to be studied. I will also analyse the specific, generic and transferable competences that will be acquired by future graduates.
