The equivalence to a foreign study cycle allows the holder of a foreign degree to have all the rights inherent to holding a specific study cycle, as taught by a Portuguese institution of higher education. The recognition of the degree solely grants all the rights inherent to having the degree. There is no mention of the specific study cycle of the institution responsible for the recognition. Conversely, the registration of the foreign degree is a simplified form of recognition, which is done by several higher education institutions pursuant to the general decisions of the Committee of Recognition of Foreign Degrees. Further details are available online at NARIC – National Academic Recognition Information Centres.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Who determines which foreign degrees are subject to registration?” open=”false”]Foreign degrees subject to registration are determined by the Committee of Recognition of Foreign Degrees, which operates within the Division of Recognition, Mobility and International Cooperation of the Higher Education Directorate-General.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”After registration/recognition/equivalence, may I exercise my profession in Portugal?” open=”false”]The recognition of professional qualifications allows its holder to exercise in the national territory the profession for which he is qualified in the Member State of origin, under the same conditions as the professionals who obtained their qualifications in said territory.
Similarly to the case of qualifications obtained in the country where it is requested, the recognition of foreign qualifications may not be sufficient to do a certain job.
The recognition of professional qualifications is governed by specific legislation, available online at: www.dges.mctes.pt/DGES/pt/Reconhecimento/NARICENIC/Reconhecimento+Profissional/.
