Official Recognition of Studies
Who should do this and why? This is the process whereby the validity - for academic purposes - of third-level studies carried out abroad (irrespective of whether these studies resulted in a qualification) compared to equivalent Spanish university studies is officially recognised, so as to enable students to continue with their studies in a Spanish university.
Institution/Support Centre:
Your university of choice in Catalonia.
Procedure
What should I do in my country of origin? Contact the university of your choice. Each university makes an assessment of the level of equivalence between overseas courses and their own courses in accordance with criteria established by the University Coordination Council.
Where should I process my application? At the university of your choice.
