Homologation or Declaration of Equivalence in Spain
Homologation (Homologación) is the route for an eligible foreign university degree that is being assessed against a Spanish university qualification giving access to a regulated profession covered by the procedure. Check the profession and its specific academic requirements.
Declaration of Equivalence (Declaración de Equivalencia) recognises the academic level of an eligible foreign university qualification as Spanish Grado or Máster for academic and administrative purposes. The receiving institution decides what evidence it requires for the intended use. Conditions for both procedures under Royal Decree 889/2022
For equivalence, the Ministry asks for a certificate from the institution where the earlier studies were taken if more than 15% of the degree credits were recognised from that study. If the UK programme included teaching in Spain, document how the two stages were organised so the relevant requirements can be assessed.
