Methodological Notes
1. Education statistics presented in this news release are processed by the National Statistics Office (NSO) on an annual basis in accordance with European Regulations (EC) 452/2008 and (EU) 912/2013. These regulations establish the basis of information to be collected from educational institutions at all levels of education and all economic sectors. By adhering to these regulations, all education statistics collected and processed by the NSO are comparable to other European countries following the same regulatory standards.
2. For the purpose of this news release ‘Graduates’ refers to tertiary graduates who obtained a qualification at ISCED levels 5 to 8 from institutions such as the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST), Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS), University of Malta, and other public and private further and higher institutions.
3. This news release includes graduates who were enrolled in formal education courses with a minimum duration of one semester of full-time study (or the equivalent in part-time) and that are delivered from Malta. This news release excludes graduates in short courses (duration of less than the equivalence of one full-time semester), preparatory programmes and courses not delivered from Malta.
4. The population of educational institutions considered for the purpose of this news release include educational institutions having graduates at tertiary level during the reference year:
| Graduate year | Number of institutions |
| 2020 | 20 |
| 2021 | 23 |
| 2022 | 30 |
Note: Institutions are considered based on them having graduates at ISCED levels 5 to 8 during the reference year. The formal education tertiary courses considered are those with a minimum duration of one semester of full-time study (or the equivalent in part-time) and that are delivered from Malta.
5. Definitions and Classifications:
● Age is calculated as at 1st January of the reference year. For example, for graduates in 2022, age is calculated as at 1st January 2022.
● Fields of study (ISCED Fields of Education and Training 2013): The ISCED Fields of Education and Training 2013 classifies educational programmes and related qualifications by fields of study. A field is the broad domain, branch or area of content covered by an education programme or qualification. For more information refer to the International Standard Classification of Education – Fields of education and training 2013 (ISCED-F 2013).
● Formal education is an institutionalised, intentional and planned type of education which is provided by public organisations and recognised private bodies. It consists primarily of initial education designed for children and young people before their first entry into the labour market. It also includes other types of education such as vocational, special needs and adult education provided they are recognised as part of the formal education system by the relevant national education authorities.
● Graduates are students who successfully complete an educational programme during the reference year and who were or will be eventually awarded a qualification.
● International Standard Classification of Education – ISCED 2011 is a framework for assembling, compiling, and analysing cross-nationally comparable statistics on education. ISCED belongs to the United Nations International Family of Economic and Social Classifications and is the reference classification for organising education programmes and related qualifications by levels and fields of education. ISCED is designed to serve as a framework to classify educational activities as defined in programmes and the resulting qualifications into internationally agreed categories. For more information refer to the ISCED 2011 manual.
For the purpose of this news release, the following tertiary levels of the ISCED 2011 classification were considered:
ISCED 5 – Short-cycle tertiary education
ISCED 6 – Bachelor’s or equivalent level
ISCED 7 – Master’s or equivalent level
ISCED 8 – Doctoral or equivalent level
● Locality of residence is the locality where graduates were residing during the academic year, as registered by the institution. Graduates registering a foreign address of residence are reported as ‘foreign residence’, whilst graduates having missing information relating to the locality of residence are reported as graduates with an unspecified locality.
6. Graduates are counted only once in the data. In the case of multiple qualifications by the same person, graduates are weighted according to the intensity of study of their programmes.
7. Education statistics data is provided by NSO to Eurostat on an annual basis in a dedicated questionnaire as established by Regulation (EC) No 452/2008 and (EU) 912/2013.
8. Owing to the UK’s exit from the European Union (with effect from 1 February 2020), UK data is statistically classified as Non-EU from 2020 in the tables relating to citizenship. Comparability between periods should be treated with caution.
