Degree Recognition in Spain

Degree recognition in Spain involves assessing your foreign academic credentials and comparing them with equivalent Spanish qualifications. This process is essential for working in regulated professions, such as law, medicine, or engineering, or continuing your studies in Spanish institutions.

Key steps in the recognition process:

1. Required documentation: You will need to present official documents, including your original degree, your academic curriculum, and transcripts. These documents must be apostilled and officially translated into Spanish.
2. Evaluation by authorities: The Ministry of Universities will assess your application to determine the equivalence of your degree with the Spanish system. Depending on the complexity of your case, this process can take between 6 to 18 months.
3. Final decision: After evaluation, you will receive a resolution indicating whether your degree has been recognized or if additional requirements must be met (such as extra studies or competency exams).
