How Can I Get My British Degree Recognised?

18 Oct How Can I Get My British Degree Recognised?

Introduction to the Issue:
With an increasing number of people choosing to study or work abroad, obtaining official recognition of your degree has become crucial. Without proper translation and certification of your qualifications, many job or academic opportunities may be blocked. Foreign institutions often require documents like the “Dichiarazione di Valore” (Declaration of Value) or an equivalence certificate, without which your degree may not be recognised. But how can you obtain these documents and ensure their international validity?

Technical Description:
The process for having a British degree recognised involves several stages and requires specific documents. The key steps include:

• Dichiarazione di Valore (DoV): The Declaration of Value is an informational document that describes the degree obtained abroad. It is necessary for the recognition of foreign degrees in many countries, including Italy.
• Certified translation of the degree: Among the documents required for the Declaration of Value is the translation of the degree certificate. This must be translated by an accredited translator, following consular guidelines.
• Equivalence certificate: In some cases, a certificate of equivalence may be required, comparing the degree with the corresponding education system of the destination country.
