Hi Constantino, that is not absolutely true. Lets take the case of medicine, for example. The fact that Portugal might recognise the Medicine degree from the Goa University and lets suppose a Goan doctor gets his degree recognised in Portugal, that does not necessarily mean that he/she can then practice anywhere in the European Union. What is important is the primary medicine qualification - the first University degree in medicine (MB BS in Goa). The fact that a Goan doctor managed to get his/her MB BS from Goa recognised in Portugal (I suspect he/she is required to answer a few exams) does not necessarily mean that he/she can then practice in other countries of the European Union. If he/she then wishes to move to other countries of the EU, he/she will still have to apply to the other countries General Medical Council which will take into consideration his/her primary qualification from Goa and not the fact that his/her degree his accepted and recognised in Portugal. The only exception is if he/she re-qualifies and acquires another medicine degree from a University from a European Union country. In that case, then he/she will be able to work anywhere in the European Union. Best wishes, Paulo. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
