Educational System of Equivalencies
This analysis is one of the documents that are required to establish the technical opinion necessary for the issuance of a Statement on the revalidation of studies (it is the procedure by which the UAEMéx recognizes studies carried out abroad), either for:
- Admission to graduate studies at UAEMéx, or
- Academic recognition of the studies abroad of the UAEMéx university student
In both cases, this Statement on the Revalidation of Studies (carried out at UAEMéx), serves the interested party to carry out the process of Revalidation of Studies before the Ministry of Public Education. To reach this technical opinion, it is necessary, in the first instance, to determine the academic equivalence and the correspondence of the educational system of origin with the Mexican Educational System. labor carried out by the Department of Global Science Education (DFGC) of the Directorate for Scientific Cooperation and Internationalization.
This process of Analysis of Correspondence of Educational Systems is just one of the procedures constituting the process that must be followed for the Directorate for Advanced Studies of the Secretariat of Science to carry out the rest of the steps to issue the Statement of Revalidation of Studies UAEMéx.
IMPORTANT: the Statement of Revalidation of Studies carried out by the UAEMéx is different from the Revalidation of Studies carried out by the SEP, however, to request the revalidation before the SEP the UAEMéx must first be issued.
