European Union
Recognised across Europe, the Commonwealth, and beyond
To enable recognition in other countries, Malta participates in the so-called metaframeworks which enable national qualifications to be compared and their level recognised in different countries, see MFHEA Reference Report 2016. The participation of Malta in the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area implies that your degree can also be recognized in the 49 member states of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) including all members of the European Union, the European Economic Area plus eight Eurasian countries. Similarly, Malta's participation in the Transnational Qualifications Framework makes that your degree can be recognised in 31 member states of the Commonwealth in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, and the Pacific regions.
EIM's Regulatory and Accreditation Frameworks
All EIM degrees are issued with ECTS credits. ECTS accreditation is the world's most sophisticated, widely recognised accreditation system.
All EIM degrees are listed on the European Union's EUROPASS website, and all transcripts are issued with EUROPASS supplements to facilitate degree mobility.
Malta is a signatory of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region, which regulates the recognition of degrees in over 50 member states.
The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) comprises 49 member countries. All EHEA institutions use the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), which provides a shared framework for accrediting courses and degrees.
The Bologna Process names the agreements which harmonise the accreditation standards of Europe. It created the EHEA and the European Credit Transfer System.
The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union. It oversees the ECTS system. All EHEA countries have adopted the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG 2015).
EIM is licensed by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA), which implements the ESG 2015 to promote quality in further and higher education.
