These days many people choose to study a master’s degree or higher education in Spain, either because of its price, location, offer of studies, or variety, among other reasons. The reality is that many international students in Europe and abroad, come to Spain to continue their academic training.
Keeping in mind that studies in Spain are based on the parameters and guidelines approved by the Ministry of Education and published in the BOE (Boletín Oficial del Estado), it is necessary for the person who has completed these studies to be aware of the requirements demanded by the country where they want to legalize their education degree.
In order for these university degrees issued in Spain to be valid outside of Spain, a series of formalities and procedures must be carried out.
Among the procedures that must be carried out are, for example: requests for appointments to legalize documents, payment of the corresponding fees, presentation of forms for the applications, recognition by the highest authorities, presidents or deans of the institutions, an apostille is required depending on the country to which you are going and to be aware of any other requirements that the embassies or consulates may request, since each country handles issues related to foreign documents in a different way.
