SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The procedure is used within the "Ștefan cel Mare" University of Suceava for the recognition of the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor obtained in accredited foreign higher education institutions.

CONTENT

The Ștefan cel Mare University of Suceava automatically recognizes the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor in sciences or in a professional field obtained at:

a) accredited higher education institutions in a member state of the European Union, the European Economic Area and from the Swiss Confederation;

b) accredited higher education institutions outside the countries provided for in letter a), among the most prestigious higher education institutions in the world, according to the provisions of the Minister of Education's Order regarding the approval of the list of prestigious universities from other countries.

USV recognizes the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor in sciences or in a professional field obtained at accredited higher education institutions on the basis of an international convention of mutual recognition concluded at the intergovernmental level.

USV recognizes the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor in sciences or in a professional field obtained at accredited higher education institutions from other countries than those provided in the previous paragraphs.

Recognition is carried out for the purpose of enrolling in postgraduate study programs, obtaining habilitation, occupying a teaching or research position at USV, participating in programs and projects financed by European and international funds or for other purposes targeting teaching and research activity at USV.

If a doctoral school in the field for which recognition is requested is not organized at USV, it can be obtained from another accredited institution organizing doctoral university studies in the respective field.

The study documents subject to recognition are authenticated with the Hague Apostille for countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, and for other countries, the study documents are superlegalized or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin.

Exemption from apostille or superlegalization is permitted under the law, for persons benefiting from a form of international protection on the territory of Romania, in accordance with the provisions of an international treaty to which Romania is a party or when study documents can be verified in online databases of the issuing institutions or authorities from the country of origin.

In the case of a joint study program or in co-supervision by accredited higher education institutions from Romania and abroad, completed with the issuance of a diploma by each institution, the study document issued by the foreign institution is not subject to the recognition procedure, and the diploma issued by the higher education institution in Romania confers all rights.

The file can be submitted physically at the USV registry office, sent by mail or through the PCUe system, with electronic signature. The file is taken over by the CSUD secretariat. (3) Within 3 working days, the complete file will be forwarded to the Evaluation Committee appointed by rector's decision. (4) If it is found that the file does not include the documents provided in paragraph 5.3.5, the applicant is notified in writing or by email for completion.
