Getting your diploma recognised
A nurse off to practise in Brussels, a brother aiming for a master's in Bologna, and on the surface a single question: “is my diploma worth anything over there?”. In reality, two worlds: the regulated profession has its directive and its written deadlines; the study diploma has no automatic recognition at European level.
Item no. 1
Three diplomas on the table
A big evening of plans around the family kitchen table. You, a qualified nurse, are leaving to practise in Brussels. Your friend Léa, a graphic designer, is following you there to open her studio. Your brother, history degree in hand, is aiming for a master's in Bologna.
Your uncle settles it for everyone: “A diploma gets stamped on arrival, same for all three.”
You: nurse responsible for general care, a post in sight at a Brussels hospital.
Léa: freelance graphic designer, clients already lined up remotely.
The brother: application for a master's in history, file to send to Bologna.
