General Recommendation for the Award of Credit
The Levels
There is also the option to merge
the nine individual result scale valu-
es of the MLI to one total value. This
total value describes the overall level
of a learning unit. Both the total value
and the individual result scales can be
used as a basis for the determination
of an award of credit for a module.
The MLI values are in line with the EQF
scales.Thus, higher values mean a higher
academic level.
As a result of the hitherto conducted
assessment it can be expected that a
clear assignment of an accurate stan-
dard for learning units cannot be re-
alised for both Bachelor and Master
programmes. Rather, there are level
intervals that merge into one another.
The results of a MLI assessment can be
categorised into five different level in-
tervals:
MLI Total Value < 3.5
The level of the assessed learning unit
is considerably below that of a standard
Bachelor study module. Learning units
of this category should not be awarded
with credit for Bachelor or Master pro-
grammes. The composition of the MLI
scales indicates options for a restruc-
turing of the learning unit which could
lead to an up-rating of the MLI level.
Such restructurings could include the
content of the learning units, the me-
thods for imparting knowledge and /
or the method for assessing learning
success.
Bachelor Entry Level
(3.5< Total MLI Value <4.5)
The level of the assessed learning unit
equates the level of typical study mo-
dules during the first semesters of a
Bachelor programme. Learning units
of this category should only be awar-
ded with credit if the combined total
of the modules with Bachelor entry
level (including the module for the
award of credit) does not exceed 60
CPs. This module should not be awar-
ded with credit for Master program-
mes.
Bachelor Level
(4.5 < Total MLI Value < 5)
The level of the assessed learning unit
equates that of a typical learning unit
during the intermediate phase of a Ba-
chelor programme. Provided there is
an appropriate overlap of content, the
learning unit should be awarded with
credit for Bachelor programmes. The
learning unit should not be awarded
with credit for Master programmes.
Bachelor-Master Intermediate Level
(5 < Total MLI Value < 5.5)
The level of the assessed learning unit
equates that of an advanced Bachelor pro-
gramme study module or that of a typical
study module at the beginning of a Master
programme. Therefore, an award of cre-
dit for Bachelor programmes is possible,
provided there is an appropriate overlap
of content. An award of credit for Master
programmes should only be applied when
the combined total of the modules with
Bachelor-Master intermediate level (inclu-
ding the module for the award of credit)
does not exceed 30 CPs.
Master Level
(5.5 < Total MLI Value)
The level of the assessed learning unit
equates to a standard Master study
module. Therefore, the learning units
should be awarded with credit for Ba-
chelor and Master programmes, provi-
ded there is an appropriate overlap of
content.
