S.L. 451.2 Art. 6Recognition of periods of study.

(1) Institutes of higher education in Malta shall recognise periods of study completed within the framework of a higher education programme in another Party State. This recognition shall comprise such periods of study towards the completion of a higher education programme in the Party State in which recognition is sought, unless substantial differences can be shown between the periods of study completed in another Party and the part of the higher education programme which they would replace in Malta.

(2) Alternatively, it shall be sufficient for the institution of higher education in Malta to enable a person who has completed a period of study within the framework of a higher education programme in another Party State to obtain an assessment of that period of study, upon request by the person concerned, and the provisions of sub-regulation (1) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such a case.

(3) In particular, Institutions of higher education in Malta shall facilitate recognition of periods of study when:

(a) there has been a previous agreement between, on the one hand, the higher education institution or the competent authority responsible for the relevant period of study and, on the other hand, the higher education institution, or the competent recognition authority responsible for the recognition that is sought; and

(b) the higher education institution in which the period of study has been completed has issued a certificate or transcript of academic records attesting that the student has successfully completed the stipulated requirements for the said period of study.
