The FHEQ is an important reference point in England and Wales for providers of higher education. The FHEQ, and associated guidance for implementation, has been written to assist higher education providers to maintain academic standards; to inform international comparability of academic standards, especially in the European context; to ensure international competitiveness; and to facilitate student and graduate mobility.This guidance is about the implementation of the framework for higher education qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FHEQ).
It applies to degrees, diplomas, certificates and other academic awards (other than honorary degrees and higher doctorates) granted by a higher education provider in the exercise of its degree awarding powers. The frameworks for higher education qualifications throughout the UK are designed to meet the expectations of the Bologna Declaration and thus align with The Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area (FQ-EHEA). As such, the labels used to distinguish the different levels of the FQ-EHEA (short cycle, first cycle, second cycle and third cycle) have also been incorporated into the FHEQ.
