ADMISSION TO DOCTORATE COURSES FOR STUDENTS WITH
NON-HOMOLOGATED, NON-SPANISH DEGREE QUALIFICATIONS
Students in possession of a graduate degree or equivalent obtained from a university or higher education centre from outside Spain who
wish to take a doctorate degree course at the University of Girona may be admitted to any Doctoral Programme related to their university
record.
To be admitted to the doctorate degree course, those students with non-homologated, non-Spanish degree qualifications must present an
application for admission addressed to the rector of the university. The department or institute responsible for the Doctoral Programme shall
accept this application within the dates established for the pre-inscription phase of the doctorate, together with the following documentation:



Copy of passport
Personal academic record from the university in question
Copy of the certificate of the degree or equivalent qualification.
If these documents are not written in any of the official languages of Spain, they must be translated by one of the following:



Any Spanish diplomatic representative or consulate outside of Spain.
The diplomatic representative or consulate within Spain of the country the applicant is a citizen of, or, if such be the case, from the
country where the document was issued.
An official translator duly authorised or inscribed within Spain.
All of this documentation (translations included) must be legalised by the pertinent authorities. The procedures for legalising the
documents to be enclosed vary according to the country in which the degree or equivalent course was taken.

Documents issued in these countries do not need to be legalised.
2. Countries that have subscribed to the Hague convention (see Table II). The documents must include the Hague apostille authentication
certificate, issued by the competent authorities in the country of origin.
3. Countries that have subscribed to the Andrés Bello Convention (see Table III). If the country is also a signee of the Hague Convention,

diplomatic means, in which case they must be presented to:
a) The Ministry of Education in the country of origin, for titles and study certificates.
b) The Spanish diplomatic representation or Spanish consulate within the country in question.
4. Other countries. The documents will have to be legalised by diplomatic means, in which case they must be presented to:
