Diploma Evaluation: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to get your foreign degree recognized in the Netherlands to help you qualify for regulated professional roles.
This process allows individuals with educational qualifications from outside the Netherlands to have their degrees assessed for local recognition. This assessment helps clarify how your foreign studies compare to the Dutch education system.
Who it's for
This service is specifically designed for candidates who hold foreign degrees. If you have completed your education in a country other than the Netherlands and wish to have that level of study formally understood within the local system, this is the process for you.
What you get
You receive an official assessment of your foreign education. This evaluation is essential for anyone seeking to enter regulated professions. In the Netherlands, certain jobs are regulated, meaning you must meet specific legal standards and educational benchmarks to practice them legally. This document serves as proof that your international qualifications meet the necessary criteria for these professional roles.
What it costs you
The brief does not provide a specific price for this service. Because fees may change, you must check the official Nuffic portal to find the current cost associated with your specific evaluation request.
The catch to know
It is important to understand that a diploma evaluation is not a guarantee of employment. Not all jobs in the country will require this specific document. However, having this assessment can significantly add credibility to your professional profile, making it easier for employers to understand your skill level and educational background.
