The recognition statement can be used if you completed higher or upper secondary education (with an access to higher education) abroad and would like to utilize it for further studies in the Slovak Republic or other purposes (i.e. on the labour market), when you need to declare the level of your attained education to the higher education institution or other subject.
The recognition statement confirms only the level of attained education, it does not give right to be accepted into the selected study programme. Level of education is the basic admission requirement, however, you will need to fulfil all the admission condition of the higher education institution and be selected from among the candidates.
The recognition statement can be used only together with the foreign qualification specified in it. It is not possible to apply it to unfinished studies, study periods, or to a degree certificate that has not yet been issued.
The recognition statement does not apply and has no added value in the process of recognition of professional qualifications. If you are trying to gain access to pursuit of a regulated profession in the Slovak Republic and you completed your training abroad, you will need to undergo the process of recognition of professional qualifications for the specific regulated profession. In the process of professional qualifications recognition, other aspects than the level of attained education are taken into the account, and the result of the recognition of professional qualifications may differ from the recognition statement.
