The procedure was amended and approved by the UBB Senate through Resolution no. 9475 from 13.07.2020 (updated text).
The regulatory documents and the procedure are published on the University's Internet pages:
It is addressed to applicants who obtained their doctoral diploma at:
a) accredited higher education or research-development institutions from a member state of the European Union or the European Economic Area, or from the Swiss Confederation;
b) accredited higher education or research-development institutions included in the List of prestigious universities from other states, approved by order of the relevant minister, updated periodically;
c) accredited higher education or research-development institutions that are the subject of an international convention of mutual recognition, concluded at intergovernmental or interuniversity level.
Required documents:
- They are listed below, in the table.
Clarifications regarding the authentication of the doctoral diploma to be submitted for recognition:
1. For states that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, study documents subject to equivalence/recognition must be endorsed with the Hague Apostille by competent authorities in the issuing countries; study documents from Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Cyprus will be endorsed with the Hague Apostille Convention, the other EU member states being excepted.
2. For states that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, study documents will be superlegalized or will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by competent authorities in the country of origin. Superlegalization is applied either by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the issuing country and the Embassy/Consular Office of Romania in that country, or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the issuing country, the Embassy/Consular Office of that country in Romania, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Romania. For countries where there are no Romanian diplomatic missions or which do not have diplomatic missions in Romania, study documents will bear the visa of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the issuing country.
Exemption from superlegalization is permitted under the law, an international treaty to which Romania is a party, or on the basis of reciprocity.
Any of the legalized copies (not the legalized translation) may be replaced by a simple copy only if the respective document is presented in original.
