It is used by the competent University offices to assess a given qualification for the purpose of admission to a degree programme or for recognition of the foreign qualification.

legal status and type of issuing institution;
access requirements for the programme resulting in the qualification;
legal duration of the study programme and/or overall commitment required of the student in terms of credits or hours;
value of the qualification in the system/country where it was issued, i.e. for academic and/or professional purposes.
