Ministry of Higher Education automatically recognises qualifications of graduates from 41 universities across UAE

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE has announced the expansion of its automatic recognition initiative for academic and professional qualifications from higher education institutions. Currently, 41 universities are benefiting from the service, with 20,536 certificates automatically recognized as of mid-August.

This initiative is a key part of the UAE's digital transformation efforts, aiming to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles by integrating digital systems directly with higher education institutions. Upon graduation, graduates of participating institutions can now receive automatic recognition of their qualifications without needing to submit separate applications.

The Ministry has held coordination meetings with accredited institutions to review progress and prepare for the integration of 18 more universities into the initiative. The meetings focused on technical requirements, registration procedures, and ensuring smooth data exchange between institutions and the Ministry. Director of the Higher Education Qualifications Recognition Services Department, Abdul Wahab Abdullah Al Jamhi, highlighted the initiative's role in providing students and graduates with a more convenient and efficient experience.

The Ministry is committed to enhancing the integration and reliability of data and supporting graduates' entry into the labor market.
