Bologna process officially started in 1999 with participation of 29 European countries in order to create European Higher Education Area, which aims to set standards for higher education in Europe until 2010. Turkey was involved in this movement in 2001.  As other universities in Turkey, Hacettepe University is part of the movement and has started to use updated curricula aligned with Bologna process in 2013. In this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate the views of the faculty members, students and committee members of Bologna process about implementation effectiveness of Bologna process. To investigate participants’ views, three Bologna Process Evaluation Inventories were developed as data collection instruments.  The inventory for students and faculty members include items about the implementation; however, the instrument for the committee members of Bologna process contains items about the update process of curricula and course catalogs. In addition to determining participants’ views, the differences among participants were examined in terms of department and undergraduate, and graduate levels. Some results of the study are as follows: For committee members, stakeholders’ views on learning outcomes are partially considered. On the other hand, curricula and course catalogs partially reflect the needs and interests of the students. In terms of students’ opinions, teaching and learning techniques are applied partly in practice; some of the information is not up to date and some elective courses are not based on their needs and interests written in course catalogs. Also, the faculty members mentioned that they do not strictly follow what is written on the course outline. Moreover, the results indicated that there are significant differences in students’ and faculty members’ views about both curricula and course catalogs among departments and levels.
