  • is recognised on the basis of an international agreement,
  • was awarded by an authorised institution operating in a member state of EU, EFTA, OECD,

    1. do not operate within a higher education system of any country or
    2. were not entitled to award scientific degrees or
  2. education programme leading to this degree or its part was implemented against provisions of the country in which the education was provided.

Legal basis:

  • international agreements,
  • Article 328 of the Act on Higher Education and Science of 20th July 2018 (Journal of Laws of 2024, item 1571),
  • Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 28th September, 2018 on the Nostrification of Academic Degrees and Degrees In the Area of Art Obtained Abroad (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1877).
