DOV and CIMEA statement: getting your degree recognised
Two ways to validate a foreign qualification, depending on what the university asks for.
Italian universities ask you to prove the value of your foreign qualification.
Two options
- The "Dichiarazione di Valore" (DOV), issued by the Italian embassy / consulate.
- The CIMEA statement of comparability and verification, from the Italian centre for information on recognition.
Many universities accept the CIMEA statement instead of the DOV. Always check exactly what your university requires before starting.
