Are the OPIT online degrees recognised?

Yes. OPIT – Open Institute of Technology is a fully accredited Online Higher Education Institution under the European Qualification Framework (EQF) and the MFHEA Authority (Malta Qualification Framework – MQF – License number n.005-2023) and thus meets the European standards defined by the Bologna Process.

OPIT degrees and awards, when their accreditation is completed (you can check the status on every program’s page), have full legal value in Europe and are professionally recognised by employers. 

As a result, OPIT awards only official degrees.

How does online learning work at OPIT?

OPIT’s online learning methodology consists of the following components: high-quality asynchronous content, live sessions with the lecturers, always-available teaching assistants and tools to interact with the class.

Asynchronous content consists of video lectures, interactive learning material, slides, and documents, as well as online coding software and simulations. You can access the materials 24/7 on a mobile APP or PC, via our online learning platform Canvas. That way, you can fit learning around your own schedule. 

Live lessons, instead, are where you can connect directly with the rest of the class and with the lecturers. Case studies, practical exercises, guest speakers, and other activities will all be covered by the lecturers here. Each and every session will also be recorded and made accessible on Canvas.

Additionally, you will have access to Teaching Assistants on a daily basis and will be able to communicate with other students and your instructors via Canvas and the internal chat.
