Using Your Novaris Degree in Uruguay
Understand how a university degree obtained abroad may be presented for reválida in Uruguay through the Ministry of Education and Culture and the procedures applicable to foreign tertiary credentials.
Reválida Through the Ministry of Education and Culture
Uruguay distinguishes between recognition and reválida depending on the type of foreign tertiary credential.
For foreign university qualifications such as a Bachelor, Licenciatura, Master's degree, Doctorate, specialization, or other university postgraduate credential, the applicable procedure is generally reválida.
Recognition vs. Reválida
Uruguay uses different procedures according to the nature and level of the foreign credential.
Recognition
Recognition corroborates the official character, academic level, and value of qualifying foreign tertiary credentials and studies under the applicable regulatory framework.
Reválida
Reválida provides academic and professional recognition to qualifying university degrees or postgraduate credentials issued outside Uruguay, subject to the applicable evaluation and any additional professional requirements.
