Within the process of prior learning recognition, SEC aims to ensure compliance with required standards as specified by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA). Recognition of Prior Learning is a process where students can apply for an exemption to credits within nationally/internationally recognized qualifications which is based on the courses' learning outcomes.
Applicant students seeking admission must provide proof in writing by submitting course specifications that they have completed at the required level of studies. The recognition of prior qualifications will be based on the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) requirements.
All learning resources and coursework activities are available to students through the online learning system. Students can access their grades to see all their grades and academic progress.
Academic advising is also available to all students to ensure students success and that all graduation requirements are completed.
While after graduating, many students are left standing at a crossroads; SEC tries to overhaul its teaching in order to meet the needs of students and current industry trends.
For us, we try to teach our students how to find their own meaning and purpose in life. We believe that college is more than just about getting a degree, and puts life purpose, positivity, wellbeing and happiness at the epicenter of its student education and teaching.
In fact, we try to help our students to build their self-awareness and to outline to them the value of what they learn, by encouraging them to get out of their comfort zones and showing them how to learn from their mistakes.
For these reasons, we foster collaboration and we get students out into the real world.
In other words, we provide to our students work-integrated learning opportunities by offering them the opportunity to work in a genuine business setting and guide them to develop their sense and awareness of workplace culture, to enhance their soft skills and to advance their theoretical knowledge, besides helping them to increase their awareness of global challenges and industry issues.
First, the criterion of teaching effectiveness used in the impact analysis of teaching activity, with performance indicators and questionnaires on students’ opinions of teacher activity as the main tools used to assess teaching activity.
Second, our teaching evaluation is developed according to the criterion of teaching excellence, with consideration being given to enhancement and innovation processes introduced by teachers.
This approach is based on the use of procedures such as teaching profiles, portfolio and peer review (evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work peers and it functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. Peer review methods are used to maintain quality standards, improve performance, and provide credibility).
Teaching profiles enable the teacher’s activity, as well as teaching innovations and learning outcomes, to be documented.
SEC teaching system will ensure that students are the core of the learning process. Learning will take place by providing a syllabus, weekly recorded lectures and resources, online meetings for live discussion lectures, and ongoing weekly coursework and assessments, in addition to general seminars related to the subjects conducted for students.
For some programs, students are also required to complete a final self-study dissertation where they explore topics related to their field of study. Learning feedback from students is continuously collected to be considered for the achievement of course delivery.
Our college adheres to the Goals of Sustainable Development of the United Nations, over the decade 2020-2030 and we are convinced that Inclusion in higher education is indispensable for both social justice and talent development reasons.
We mainly focus on the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) which is the education goal and which aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all".
It is directly linked to the achievement of SDG 4.3 and to the SDG 4.5, which insist on eliminating gender disparities in education and ensuring equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities.
In this context, our college focuses on Inclusion, Equity and Gender Equality. That’s why all our students should have access to inclusive, equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities, irrespective of sex, age, race, color, ethnicity, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property or birth, as well as persons with disabilities, migrants, ...
Vulnerable students who require particular attention and targeted strategies, specially having disabilities (especially color blindness and dyslexia with all its types) are not excluded from our programs. Indeed, for students with specific needs, we adapt our courses, with the help of specialists who are part of our academic team, so that they can benefit from the courses like their colleagues.
In accordance with the standards established by the MFHEA.03.2021, SEC shall issue certificates to students upon successful completion of the programme of studies.
At the end of the program, once a student has successfully completed all program requirements, the student will receive a graduation certificate in addition to a transcript.
