European qualifications framework

LCME and the European qualifications framework

The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is a reference framework that links the qualifications of different countries together. It acts as a translation device to make qualifications easier to understand across different countries and systems in Europe.

The work to reference the UK's Regulated Qualifications Framework (ROF) to the EQF has now been completed, and LCME's regulated qualifications are now referenced to the EQF.

EQF levels for LCME can be found on the Register of Regulated Qualifications. Our awarding organisation is University of West London Qualifications.
