Recognition of foreign education certificates or vocational qualifications is the process of having your education diplomas or vocational qualification certificates obtained in Turkey recognized and approved in Europe. The process of equivalency can be done for educational, employment, or entrepreneurial purposes and varies depending on the level of education completed (high school, university) and also varies by country.

The recognition process, or equivalency, declares that the foreign education document is equivalent to education in Europe. Successful equivalency is a crucial condition for continuing education in Europe. Naturally, many people have questions such as how long does the equivalency process take, what documents are needed for application, where to apply, and how to complete these processes while in Turkey. At Piya Consulting, we manage your equivalency process just like other processes.

When you graduate from any university in Europe, your diploma will be valid in Turkey and all over the world. If you have received education outside of Turkey, you can confirm whether your diploma will be valid in Turkey by checking the section of universities accepted by YÖK on e-government.

Academic recognition varies depending on the level of education achieved. Recognition of high school diplomas and university diplomas follow different rules.

High School Equivalency

Students who apply to continue their undergraduate education must ensure that their high school graduation certificates, which are their last completed degrees, are recognized. High school degree equivalency is a more challenging process than undergraduate degree equivalency because the high school education systems in Turkey and Europe are different. When necessary, students may be subject to exams in some courses to ensure that equivalency is established. Equivalency offices that provide complete equivalency evaluate and decide based on certain conditions. In your high school equivalency process, our experience and solution-oriented approaches, as Piya Consulting, with our ambassadors in Europe, will also provide you with convenience.
 

Undergraduate and Graduate Equivalency

Students who want to continue their graduate studies in Europe must ensure that their undergraduate diplomas are recognized. This process is much easier than the high school diploma equivalency process. Since Turkey is part of the Bologna Process, regardless of which university you graduate from, you can apply for European equivalency.

We will carry out all the necessary procedures for your undergraduate equivalency to be completed easily and quickly.
