An outcome of a three-year initiative funded by the Commission of European Union and sponsored by the African Union Commission and Commissioned by the University of Deusto, the group met in seven countries: Accra, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Dakar, Yaoundé, Cape Town and Brussels to deliberate on the generic and specific profiles of five disciplines including agricultural sciences, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, medicine and teacher education.

Each team, responsible for its respective discipline, was led by coordinator who also took leadership in drafting, reviewing and finalising the subject-specific chapter with extensive input from the designated contributors.

The articulation of the different groups and their rendering, as they engaged with the Tuning exercise, are rich and wide ranging. It is very nature of Tuning's flexibility, combined with due regard for quality, that makes it and exceptional instrument in addressing multiple needs and rationales in higher education.

The editors trust that this first book on the Tuning and Harmonisation of Higher Education in Africa provides a strong rationale and solid foundation on the scope, importance and implications of the methodology on the region's higher education system.
