The Bologna process has ten key objectives related to giving a diploma supplement in all higher education programs. The most important focus of the process is the students in higher education. The aim of the study is to determine medical students’ perceptions of the Bologna process. The study conducted at Ege University Faculty of Medicine is a cross-sectional study. Using the stratified sampling method, 334 students from different classes were selected. Data were collected with a scale developed by Yılmaz et al. (2011). The scale consists of 45 items wich were rated on a 5-point Likert type. perceived most positively are as follows: the process encourages foreign language learning; the process develops the exchange programs; the process increases opportunities to study abroad. Twenty-eight percent of the students wanted to join the Erasmus program. 8.40 % of the students were informed about the Bologna process. The students needed more information about the process. Faculty members who are more knowledgeable about the process and who have participated in exchange programs, and school administrators who identify and implement adaptation policies should be involved in meeting this need of students
