A foreign degree can be recognised as equivalent to a domestic degree by the academic head.
This means the degree is fully equivalent to the Austrian degree, the right to use the corresponding Austrian academic degree and the right to exercise the professions associated with this degree in Austria.
Within the European Union or the European Economic Area as well as Switzerland the recognition of a foreign degree is not required, since the access to a number of academic professions is regulated by separate directives and nationals of these states have direct access to the profession.
