Recognition of Diplomas

The Malta Qualifications Recognition Information Centre (MQRIC) is the competent body within the NCFHE that recognises qualifications against the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF)​. ​​

​It provides recognition and comparability of both academic and vocational qualifications, using both the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) to provide recognition advice on both local and international qualifications. It also assists in the recognition of Maltese qualifications abroad. MQRIC is also the local official ENIC-NARIC centre in Malta and forms part of the ENIC-NARIC Network.

Recognition statements for qualifications may be required for various reasons, such as: to pursue further studies, applying for a job or a promotion, qualification allowance, tax rebate, scholarship schemes, a single permit/visa/citizenship with Jobsplus, amongst others. ​​In order to further facilitate the recognition process, MQRIC has launched a new online system whereby the recognition statement can be downloaded directly from their website. In view of this, MQRIC is no longer accepting applications face-to-face or via email.​

 

 

Is your qualification recognised?

To check whether your qualification is recognised, you need to follow the below steps:

  • ​Step 1: A qualification might already have been recognised or compared with a particular MQF Level. NCFHE maintains an online register of accredited further and higher educational institutions and recognised courses.​ If such qualification is listed in the List of Already Accredited Courses​ (on the right) it means that it is recognised and there is no need to submit an application for the assessment of a qualification
  • Step 2: If a qualification is provided by self-accrediting institutions, all qualifications issued by them are obliged to feature the MQF level on the certificate. Any other institution accredited in Malta offering home grown courses is also obliged to provide the relevant MQF level of the qualification on the certificate, apart from the obligation of informing the student of such level before any course is taken up.

  • Step 3: Should a qualification not be listed under Step 1 and Step 2 above, you may submit an application for the Recognition of Qualifications by accessing our online system.

 

 

 

Refund Policy

Due to the nature of the service offered, MQRIC does not offer refunds after a payment to a request for recognition has been made. The online service is straightforward and the user is free to stop the process at any time before payment is affected. The user is to assume responsibility for his/her request. A request for recognition may be cancelled and subsequently fully refunded only in cases where the user erroneously makes multiple requests and consequently payments for the recognition of the same identical qualification.

To request a refund the user is to send an email to [email protected] within 1 week. Refunds will not be considered after this time. Refunds will be credited back to the original credit card used for payment.
