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

MQF3 Social Skills and Responsibilities
MQF4 Values, Attitude and Professionalism
MQF5 Communication, Leadership and Teamwork Skills
MQF6 Problem Solving and Scientific Skills
