The Malta Qualifications Database features detailed information on qualifications and awards in Malta and it is a reliable source to find answers to important questions which should be asked when looking into various study programmes. This database will contribute to making information on accredited programmes in Malta more easily available to learners both in Malta and abroad. It will ensure that anyone wishing to further their education has the right information available to make informed choices and be assured that the programme in question is accredited and level rated.

The information provided on accredited programmes is comparable and compatible with that provided by other countries to help ensure the transparency of the system of accreditation carried out in Malta and to increase trust. It also facilitates the recognition of Maltese qualifications abroad through the transparent provision of information on programmes which are level rated and linked to the EQF. This is further supported by the link of the NQD to the QDR and the EUROPASS portal ensuring a more comprehensive database of qualifications in Europe.

Additionally, the MFHEA maintains the Register of Accredited Further and Higher Education Institutions in Malta. This means that institutions on that list have gone through the accreditation process and can be considered as “licensed institutions”. Through the development of the Malta Qualifications Database, the MFHEA ensures a functional database compatible with the EU regulations. This data is of interest for different groups, such as students, employees and employers. The likely areas of interest for students are the different fields of learning, courses, awards and entry requirements.

The database is regularly updated by the MFHEA’s Accreditation and Licensing Unit to ensure accurate and up-to-date information.
