Referencing Report

Abstract

The Referencing Report is Malta’s national document that references the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). It describes the Malta Qualifications Framework and the different levels of qualifications in Malta. It provides details of the parameters which need to be adhered to by any conferring awarding body in Malta in terms of the level of learning outcomes and number of credits. This report also describes the referencing process to other Qualifications Frameworks: the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area (QF/EHEA); and the Transnational Qualifications Framework of the Small states of the Commonwealth (TQF). This referencing process allows the recognition of national qualifications at a European level and the recognition of foreign qualifications from the European Union and beyond.
