Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Qualifications 外国資格の評定・承認

Formal acknowledgement of an individual’s foreign degrees, diplomas, or qualifications issued by the relevant authority in another country. This recognition acknowledges the holder’s access to higher education studies or employment opportunities on the basis of appraisal or evaluation of the corresponding level of education under the education or qualification system of the country in which recognition is sought, equivalent qualifications, the kinds of knowledge and skills achieved, the authenticity of the certificates, etc., excepting the cases of verifiable substantial difference. The systems of assessment and recognition and the competent recognition authorities including governmental entities, higher education institutions and third-party agencies may vary depending on the conditions of the different countries. The system is also known as foreign credential evaluation/ recognition (FCE/ FCR). Higher education institutions in Japan assess applicants’ educational background in foreign countries including qualifications in secondary or higher education, against the admission eligibility criteria set forth in the School Education Act etc., and grant, or “recognize,” eligibility for admission when the applicants fulfill the criteria.
