National External Quality Assurance Requirements

Institutional audit
All institutions, including self-accrediting ones, have to be reviewed and audited periodically by MFHEA as part of the External Quality Assurance process as defined by MFHEA.
Programme accreditation
Education institutions (whether national, international, public or private) must have their programme audits approved by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority. Locally accredited courses currently do not have an accreditation expiry date. By exception, public institutions that have a 'self-accrediting status' established by MFHEA do not need to submit programmes for accreditation if these fall within the scope of the Malta Qualification Framework (MQF) level of their self-accrediting status. They would need to do so if they intend to provide programmes that exceed the MQF level of their self-accrediting status.
