This is true even if they didn&#8217;t lead to the completion of a degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some exceptions where you may find it difficult to convalidate your studies, such as degrees obtained through recognition of professional practice that constitute more than 15% of the total credits of the study plan. But generally, if your degree was obtained from an institution with the recognized authority to certify them, you should be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your documents in order<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike homologation, which is done through the Spanish government, convalidation is done through your Spanish university. You\u2019re going to need a fair bit of paperwork in place, though. The exact requirements can vary, but there are some basics you\u2019ll definitely need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; A certified copy of your ID card, passport or residency card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; A completed application form detailing your personal data, the subjects you\u2019ve already passed, and the studies you\u2019re looking to convalidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The official certificates, stamped with their university seal, of the subjects you\u2019ve already taken and passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The syllabus of the program you have started, indicating its duration, the subjects that comprise it, and the university\u2019s seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">There may be the option to complete some sections of the process online\u2014this will depend on the university.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Focus-and-patience-the-keys-to-getting-your-degree-convalidated-in-Spain2.jpg\" alt=\"Focus and patience: the keys to getting your degree \u201cconvalidated\u201d in Spain\" class=\"wp-image-28959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Focus-and-patience-the-keys-to-getting-your-degree-convalidated-in-Spain2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Focus-and-patience-the-keys-to-getting-your-degree-convalidated-in-Spain2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Focus-and-patience-the-keys-to-getting-your-degree-convalidated-in-Spain2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Focus-and-patience-the-keys-to-getting-your-degree-convalidated-in-Spain2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At IE University, we\u2019re here to <a href=\"https:\/\/landings.ie.edu\/bachland-welcome-one-to-one-sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">support<\/a> our student community as much as possible.

After completing her studies, she wanted to stay in Madrid. So, she consulted the Ministry about the different ways she could access the legal profession in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding to convalidate her degree through a university, she had to retake some of the courses from her bachelor\u2019s. However, much of the work she did during her LL.M. was indeed recognized. It\u2019s worth noting here that, for the LL.M., you don\u2019t have to get the exams you\u2019ve taken recognized. This is only the case if you want to do a dual degree and then practice on Spanish soil post-graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercedes has some advice for anybody looking to follow in her footsteps and continue their studies in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Stay focused. Mercedes had the goal of enrolling in the qualifying master\u2019s program to work in the country\u2019s legal system. She urges you not to lose sight of your objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Be patient. In her case, she calls the need to redo parts of her law degree a \u201ccurveball.\u201d However, she reminded herself she was doing it for a specific purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Make sure you have all the documentation that your university is going to need to complete the convalidation. Mercedes says she had her transcripts, diplomas, course content and syllabi of her bachelor\u2019s and LL.M. courses. She found the LL.M. material particularly useful because that\u2019s where most of her already-recognized work was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Keep your eyes open to all your options. Each university will create its own validation report, and they can be in different formats. Mercedes urges you to choose the one that best fits your circumstances and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Mercedes, for your wise advice! This process, like many others in Spain, can take quite a lot of time and energy. But with the right documentation in place, the hard work you\u2019ve already done will be recognized. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading banner-title\" id=\"boost-your-career-with-our-master-in-management\">Complete a dual degree at IE Law School<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner-content\">Find out how to get your degree convalidated so you can complete a dual degree at IE University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button banner-btn\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/law-school\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve completed a bachelor\u2019s degree in another country and want to continue studying in Spain, you\u2019ll need to have the work you\u2019ve already completed verified.
