The Sub-Directorate General for Degrees and Recognition of Qualifications of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport is responsible for processing applications for the recognition of higher education degrees awarded by foreign institutions as official Spanish Bachelor's or Master's degrees that give access to a regulated profession in Spain.
The recognition of a foreign qualification as a Spanish qualification that allows access to a regulated profession will entail the possibility of practising the regulated profession in question under the same conditions as the holders of Spanish qualifications that enable them to do so.
