RECOGNITION OF EDUCATION DOCUMENTS CERTIFYING QUALIFICATION ISSUED BY FOREIGN INSTITUTION
The recognition of documents certifying a qualification issued by a foreign institution is based on Law No. 422/2015 Coll. on recognition of education documents and on recognition of professional qualification and on changes and amendments to certain acts (hereinafter "law"), as well as on Directive No. 2/2020 of J. Selye University.
I.
Complete secondary qualification – CHANGE!
From 1 March 2025, there has been a change in the recognition of documents of complete secondary qualification for the purpose of studying in the Slovak Republic according to § 39a of the law.
The Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic (hereinafter referred to as the "Ministry") has simplified the system of recognition of education documents for graduates from the EU and three other non-European countries (Ukraine, Russia and China). A database of recognition clauses for the current and most common types of complete secondary education qualifications is published on the Ministry's website.
Through the automatic recognition system, the applicant downloads the clause on the recognition of the degree of education from the portal, if it has been published, and then attaches it to the documents of the admission procedure.
The portal of the Centre for the Recognition of Education Documents is available here.
- In the first step, you need to select a country and confirm your choice by clicking on “Confirm”.
- Then select the level of education, e.g. in the case of Hungary “LEVEL: M érettségi”.
- Finally, click on “Download confirmation” to download and print the recognition of the level of education.
An officially certified document of completed education must be attached to the statement on recognition of the level of education.
