Ermöglicht durch eine rahmengesetzliche Deregulierung befindet sich die deutsche Hochschullandschaft seit dem Jahre 1998 in einem strukturellen Wandel. Das erklärte Ziel politischer Bestrebungen war und ist es, die Profilbildung der einzelnen Hochschulen zu erleichtern und auf diese Weise den Wettbewerb unter den Hochschulen zu fördern.
