 ===== EQF-Levels =====
-The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) has been developed by the EU. It was set up in 2008 and revised in 2017. It works like a translation tool for different national qualifications in order to make national qualifications better comparable. The EQF consists of 8 qualification levels for which the learning outcomes are defined, e.g. the knowledge a person has and the person’s skills.

 ===== Link between EQF-Levels and the RCM in the ASTONRail Project =====
-In the ASTONRail project the rail related study paths at the partner universities have been analysed, showing which Post Master or Master course is accessable from which Master or Bachelor course. By showing which level of the RCM and which career graduates can achieve, a career map scheme has been developed for each partner university. Figure 1 shows how the career map has been visualized in the career map scheme. For more information see Intellectual Output 3 of WG 3.

-From EQF-level 5 (not offered by partner universities) starting a career in the operational level in railways is realistic. Graduates from Bachelor's courses (level 6) of the partner universities can work in the operational and in the tactical level of the rail careers matrix. Graduates from Master's courses (level 7) and post master courses (level 8) are prepared to start a career in the tactical and in the strategic RCM level. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
