Abstract	Determining qualification profiles is one of the main tasks of the curriculum development process. Qualification profiles define either a specific field of learning, or a broader aggregation of qualification clusters with a common purpose such as applied vocational or more theoretical academic courses of study. How can one evaluate whether a planned program really empowers a student to achieve a certain qualification profile? How can a curriculum impart to graduates the profile required for an academic research career? Does this curriculum have anything in common with curricula with a vocational qualification profile? We have developed a checklist which will help curriculum developers, program providers and external reviewers to develop curricula or evaluate them before implementing a program. One set of the checklist's criteria focuses on the qualification profile, and consists of three indices: (i) a research proximity index; (ii) a practice proximity index; and (iii) an interdisciplinarity proximity index. Here we wish to present these proximity indices for Master Programs in the sciences, and illuminate the educational concepts upon which it is based.
