The Qualification Frameworks set out the different levels of higher education qualifications and the requirements for each of these. There is one framework for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and a separate one for Scotland. Both are combined in one publication.


The Frameworks are currently being updated to bring them in line with the new Quality Code and will be available on this page when completed.
