UK - SPAIN AGREEMENT
UNIVERSITY ACCESS
We have excellent news for you if you are studying in the British system and wish to continue your university studies in Spain. A very important agreement has recently been signed between Spain and the UK. This agreement makes access to universities and other higher education institutions in both Spain and the UK much easier, ensuring that your diplomas, certificates, and qualifications are mutually recognised.
Without this agreement, you and all your peers graduating from the British system (A-Levels, GCSE/IGCSE), whether offered in schools in Romania, Spain, the UK, or anywhere else in the world, would have been required to validate or homologate your secondary studies through the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. As you know, this process would have been complicated, costly (involving notarised and apostilled documents), and could have taken as long as one to two years.
That is why this new agreement between Spain and the UK brings a series of incredible advantages for you. Let’s take a closer look at these benefits and the steps you need to follow for the recognition of your A-Level and I/GCSE Certificates.
BENEFITS
✨ A SIMPLER DIPLOMA RECOGNITION PROCESS
From now on, you will benefit from a much easier procedure for the recognition of A-Level and I/GCSE Certificates in Spain. The agreement simplifies everything, reducing bureaucracy and ensuring a more efficient and transparent evaluation.
🎓 EASIER ACCESS TO SPANISH UNIVERSITIES
You will now be able to enrol in Spanish universities more easily, thanks to the recognition of A-Level and GCSE/IGCSE Certificates via the UNEDassis platform. This means the admissions process will be smoother and less complicated.
🇪🇸 🇬🇧 YOUR QUALIFICATIONS WILL BE RECOGNISED IN BOTH SPAIN AND THE UK
With this agreement, you can rest assured that your diplomas, certificates, and qualifications will be recognised in both Spain and the UK. This gives you access to a wide range of options to choose the study programme that best suits your future plans.
📚 A WIDER VARIETY OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
You will be able to choose from a broader range of study programmes offered by Spanish universities, bringing your interests and passions to life.
✈️ GREATER INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY
Through the recognition of your diplomas, certificates, and qualifications, doors open to exchange programmes, scholarships, and academic collaborations on a global scale.
💶 SAVING TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT
This agreement ensures that the recognition of A-Level and GCSE/IGCSE Certificates through UNEDassis is quicker and easier than the homologation process required by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. As a result, you gain faster and more efficient access to the resources and information needed to complete your university applications.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
Here are the steps you need to take in order to benefit from this agreement:
- Complete the recognition request via the UNEDassis platform, upload the required documents, and pay the necessary fee.
UNEDassis is a platform specifically designed to manage university applications in Spain, making it easier to apply for undergraduate programmes. Through UNEDassis, you can obtain a digital accreditation (the UNED Credential), which allows you to apply for university studies in Spain. This credential can be requested by all Spanish universities and is directly accessible to partner universities through the platform, thereby simplifying the admission process for international students. - The authenticity and equivalence of your A-Level and I/GCSE Certificates will be evaluated in the context of the chosen university or study programme.
- You will receive a decision regarding the recognition of your A-Level and I/GCSE Certificates. This decision will be communicated online or through official correspondence.
- UNED will assign a grade on a scale from 1 to 10.
- Once your A-Level and I/GCSE Certificates are recognised (UNED Credential), you can begin the enrolment process at your chosen university or programme. Keep in mind that the admissions process may involve meeting specific requirements of the selected university, submitting additional documents, or even sitting entrance examinations.
Do not forget that each university or programme may have its own requirements and steps to be followed in the enrolment process.
This agreement not only opens the doors to Spanish universities by simplifying the procedure for the recognition of your diplomas, certificates, and qualifications but also gives you the freedom to choose from a vast variety of study programmes.
