The homologation of post-secondary degrees in Spain and other similar figures

Abstract

The adaptation of the university studies to the  Bologna process did not solve an important question: how post-secondary degrees obtained in foreign  institutions or Spanish centers were written through a program for sports. The new Royal Decree  967/2014, November 21, regulates the matter and establishes the necessary requirements so that foreign studies can be compared to Spaniards; differentiating between three figures: homologation, declaration of equivalence and validation. With regard to the first, this will be considered when you have a foreign degree to a Spanish university degree that gives access to a regulated profession; if the title does not qualify
for professional practice, the declaration of equivalence is chosen at an academic level and the corresponding degree and, for the rest of the cases, validation.
