Referencing to the EQF
Self-certification to the QF-EHEA
Criterion 1 (QF-EHEA)The national framework for higher education qualifications and the body or bodies responsible for its development are designated by the national ministry with responsibility for higher education.
Criterion 2 (QF-EHEA)There is a clear and demonstrable link between the qualifications in the national framework and the cycle qualification descriptors of the European framework.
Criterion 3 (QF-EHEA)The national framework and its qualifications are demonstrably based on learning outcomes, and the qualifications are linked to ECTS or ECTS compatible credits.
Criterion 4 (QF-EHEA)The procedures for inclusion of qualifications in the national framework are transparent.
Criterion 5 (QF-EHEA)The national quality assurance system for higher education refers to the national framework of qualifications and is consistent with the Berlin Communiqué and any subsequent communiqués agreed by ministers in the Bologna Process.
Criterion 6 (QF-EHEA)The national framework, and any alignment with the European framework, is referenced in all Diploma Supplements.
Criterion 7 (QF-EHEA)The responsibilities of the domestic parties to the national framework are clearly determined and published.
Procedure 1 (QF-EHEA)The competent national body/bodies shall self-certify the compatibility of the national framework with the European framework.
Procedure 2 (QF-EHEA)The self-certification process shall include the stated agreement of the quality assurance bodies in the country in question, as recognised through the Bologna Process.
Procedure 3 (QF-EHEA)The self-certification process shall involve international experts.
Procedure 4 (QF-EHEA)The self-certification and the evidence supporting it shall be published and shall address separately each of the criteria set out.
Procedure 5 (QF-EHEA)The ENIC and NARIC networks shall maintain a public listing of States that have confirmed that they have completed the self-certification process
Procedure 6 (QF-EHEA)The completion of the self-certification process shall be noted on Diploma Supplements issued subsequently by showing the link between the national framework and the European framework.
Common principle 1 (QA)Quality assurance policies and procedures should underpin all levels of the EQF.
Common principle 2 (QA)Quality assurance should be an integral part of the internal management of education and training institutions. Common principle 3 (QA)Quality assurance should include regular evaluation of institutions, their programmes or their quality assurance systems by external monitoring bodies or agencies.
Common principle 4 (QA)External monitoring bodies or agencies carrying out quality assurance should be subject to regular review.
Common principle 5 (QA)Quality assurance should include context, input, process and output dimensions, while giving emphasis to outputs and learning outcomes.
Common principle 6 (QA)Quality assurance systems should include the following elements:
1. Clear and measurable objectives and standards;2. Guidelines for implementation, including stakeholder
involvement;3. Appropriate resources;4. Consistent evaluation methods, associating self-
assessment and external review;5. Feedback mechanisms and procedures for improvement;6. Widely accessible evaluation results.
Common principle 7 (QA)Quality assurance initiatives at international, national and regional level should be coordinated in order to ensure overview, coherence, synergy and system-wide analysis.
Common principle 8 (QA)Quality assurance should be a cooperative process across education and training levels and systems, involving all relevant stakeholders, within Member States and across the Community. Common principle 9 (QA)Quality assurance orientations at Community level may provide reference points for evaluations and peer learning.
