Diploma recognition in Portugal
An overview of foreign higher education qualification recognition and how to identify the competent body for your case.
Overview
In Portugal, recognition of higher education qualifications obtained abroad can take different forms depending on the degree, country and purpose. Broadly, level recognition, automatic recognition and specific recognition are distinguished.
Identifying the competent body
The body depends on the recognition type and intended purpose. Academic applications are generally made to higher education institutions or the responsible public body. Regulated professions may require a procedure with the professional association. Secondary education follows a separate equivalence procedure.
Documentation
Required documents are defined by the competent body and may vary. We review what you already have and explain what may be requested in your specific case.
