Italian Qualifications Framework for Higher
Education 1/3 Qualifications Framework for the European Higher
Education Area is aimed at facilitating the correct understanding and comparability of qualifications in the Higher Education systems of each country.
A further aim of the Framework is to offer a comprehensive overview of the European teaching and learning offer, targeted at the students coming from all over the world
Each country committed to put together a National Qualifications Framework - NQF which is compatible with the Qualifications Framework for the European Higher Education Area.
Italian Qualifications Framework for Higher
Education 2/3 It is a tool, which describes the qualifications awarded by
the Italian Higher Education institutions, in terms of expected competences and learning outcomes.
It is modelled on The Qualifications Framework for the European Higher Education Area - QF for EHEA.
Make the Italian Higher Education system more transparent and understandable
Enhance international mobility of Italian students and graduates and facilitate their access to advanced-level studies
Facilitate employers’ understanding and appraisal of the qualifications awarded by Italian Higher Education Institutions
