In the event of/in the case of/in case of

[StarDust88]

Hello

Could you please tell me if I can use "in the event of" in the sentence as follows: The qualification to be awarded shall match the areas of study, fields, and specialties, determined by the National Qualification Framework in the event of MA educational programmes. Or should I use "in the case of/in case of" (have failed to understand the difference between the two so far).

No. None of those make sense in that context.
Both "in case of" and "in the event of" describe contingencies. For example:
"In the event of fire, do not use the lift".
Or
"In case of emergency, dial 999".
I suspect you're looking for something like "regarding". Consider using that at the start of your sentence and rearranging that sentence. Post below.

It's wrong. "In the event of XXX" is like saying "just in case XXX happens".

In the event of a fire, don't use the lift.
In the event of a draw, there will be a playoff for first place.

(Cross-posted with teechar - we even used the same example!)

Knew it was wrong maybe this sounds better:

As far as MA educational programmes are concerned, the qualification to be awarded shall match the areas, fields, and specialities determined by the National Qualification Framework.

Or maybe I should start "Regarding/With regard to MA educational programmes,..."(but I think this sounds wrong too).

As far as MA educational programmes are concerned,

This sounds like you're contrasting MA programmes with some other programmes you'd referred to earlier. If that's the case, "As far as" works.

If you're referring specifically to MA programmes and nothing else, I suggest: The qualification to be awarded for MA programmes shall match the areas of study, fields, and specialties determined by the National Qualification Framework.
