This paper presents the main results of a recent survey of private higher education institutions from twelve selected European countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Estonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia) in the framework of the UNESCO‐CEPES project on “Private Higher Education in Europe and Quality Assurance and Accreditation from the Perspectives of the Bologna process Objectives”, designed and implemented in collaboration with “Leon Koźmiński Academy of Entrepreneurship and Management (LKAEM) and the World Bank. After a brief review of the current incidence of private education in the selected European countries, the authors give a description of the survey. Then the main findings are structured according to the nine goals of the Bologna Process and their corresponding level of implementation in private higher education institutions, and also to provide comparisons with public higher education institutions.
