FEEDUC’s strength lies in its knowledge of the field, its contacts and the processes of each university, with which a relationship of trusting exchange must be established.

The Credencial Application

Exercising this right to mobility results in academic and professional recognition of diplomas acquired in the country of origin or in another European country that has signed the treaty.

Academic recognition enables students to undertake or continue their studies in another EU Member State.

If you are going to study in Spain in the year following your baccalaureate, you will have to go through an administrative procedure to obtain a document called a ‘Credencial’ (accreditation), which is compulsory for enrolment in universities (public or private).

The CTS Application

If you are studying in Spain during your degree course, the application of the Bologna agreements will enable you to have your level of study recognised and validated through the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS), which was developed to make it easier to study in any member country of the European Union.

Institutions may ask you for a sworn translation of the official documents certifying that you have obtained your credits, as well as the content of each of these credits. Don’t be offended by this, as it reflects the seriousness of the establishment asking you for these documents, especially if it is a private establishment.

Regardless of when you go to university in Spain, you will receive a diploma at the end of your studies. For certain professions (medical and paramedical in particular), recognition of its conformity in other countries will determine the possibility of obtaining the right to practise that profession in your own country.

If the diploma you wish to obtain is the result of training that complies with European Directive 2005/36/EC of 7 September 2005 (OJ L255 of 30.09.2005) on the recognition of European qualifications, recognition will be automatic. However, this does not mean that you will not have to take any administrative steps before practising your profession.

A certain number of ECTS credits are generally required for the recognition of a diploma issued by another member country of the European Union that is a signatory to the Bologna agreements.
