Malaysian Qualifications Framework Learning Outcome Domains (MQF LOD) & iCGPA

The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) or the MEB (HE) (Ministry of Higher Education, 2015) is formulated
based on the vision and aspiration of Malaysia Education Development Plan (2013 – 2015) and National Higher Education Strategic Plan (or
Pelan Strategik Pengajian Tinggi Negara (PSPTN)) in educating students who are knowledgeable, skilled and talented to face the challenges of
the 21st century.

Shift 1 of the blueprint aims to foster graduates who are holistic, balanced and entrepreneurial in line with the National Education
Philosophy.

One of the initiatives in Shift 1 is the implementation of the integrated assessment system which materialises student holistic attainment
based on the learning experiences in higher education known as integrated CGPA or iCGPA.

iCGPA illustrates attainment of eight domains of learning outcomes listed in the Malaysian Qualifications Framework.

Malaysian Qualifications Framework Learning Outcome Domains (MQF LOD)

Domain
MQF1 Knowledge
MQF2 Practical Skills
MQF3 Social Skills and Responsibilities
MQF4 Values, Attitude and Professionalism
MQF5 Communication, Leadership and Teamwork Skills
MQF6 Problem Solving and Scientific Skills
MQF7 Information Management and Lifelong Learning Skills
MQF8 Managerial and Entrepreneurial Skills
