MEC Course Recognition: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to verify if your university degree is officially recognized by the government so your qualifications are valid.
MEC Course Recognition is a system used to verify that a specific university degree or study program is officially authorized and valid by the government.
Who it's for
This is for any student who is currently choosing a degree program or is currently studying at a higher education institution.
What you get
You get official verification that your degree is valid. This ensures that once you graduate, your qualification is legally recognized by employers and other professional bodies.
What it costs you
It is free to use this verification system.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is to check if a course is "reconhecido" (officially recognized) before you pay any tuition fees. Paying for a course that lacks this status can result in a degree that is not legally valid.
How to apply
- Visit the official government education portal.
- Search for your specific institution or the name of the degree program.
