Higher Education Qualification

What This Criterion Requires

You normally need a higher-education qualification of at least three years' duration (or a foreign credential treated as equivalent by the host member state). The qualification should support the professional activity you will perform. Regulated professions (healthcare, some engineering roles, teaching) may need additional licensing.

What Authorities Look For

• Clear identification of the institution, programme, and credential awarded
• Evidence of programme length / level comparable to three years of higher education
• Recognition or comparability when the degree was earned outside the host state
• Alignment between field of study and job duties where the state examines substance
