Accreditation and recognition of foreign university studies

The process of HOMOLOGACIÓN of a foreign diploma to a Spanish diploma gives access to a regulated profession (doctor, veterinary, nurse, physiotherapist, dentist, pharmacist, etc.).

The diplomas that do not give access to a regulated profession need to go through the process of EQUIVALENCIA to a Spanish diploma or academic level. Equivalencia gives the foreign diploma the same validity as the Spanish one which is recognised as equivalent to, without the professional purposes that imply the process of homologación.

The education authorities in Spain require that the total duration of the studies and their contents are similar to the Spanish ones, as well as the hourly load of the subjects.

For both homologación and equivalencia, the application process is the following:

1. Get an appointment with the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) for the Apostille of your Diploma and Transcript of Records.

2. After this is finalized, your Diploma and Transcript of Records require an official translation.
