The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a highly competitive and dynamic environment which demands a widely recognised academic background for anyone seeking employment, extending their education, or planning to obtain the Golden Visa. Thus, to avail these possibilities, it is required to verify and validate academic credentials with the Ministry of Education (MoE), the UAE’s official educational regulatory organisation.
This authentication procedure comprises acquiring a Certificate of Recognition, also known as an Equivalency Certificate, which proves the authenticity and equivalency of your foreign academic credentials within the UAE education system.
What is a Degree Equivalency Certificate?
A Degree Equivalency Certificate is a document to confirm a degree earned outside the UAE is comparable to a degree awarded within the UAE educational system. This is done to assess whether your foreign degree meets the academic standards set by the UAE.
Who Needs an Equivalency Certificate In The UAE?
Anyone having an academic qualification, from secondary school to doctorate level, can earn this certificate. However, it is frequently required for a variety of activities in the UAE, including:
- Employment (required for some positions in healthcare, education, engineering, and government)
- Individuals pursuing Higher Education
- Applying for a Society of Engineers License in Dubai Card
- Applying for the UAE Golden Visa
