I’d like to clarify some points mentioned on Wiki regarding Máster Propio degrees:
It is essential to note that while Máster Propio degrees are legitimate and legally recognized in Spain under Article 34 of the Ley Orgánica de Universidades, they are classified as "non-official" qualifications. This means they are valid within Spain but are not equivalent to official master's degrees for purposes such as public employment or access to doctoral programs.
Many European countries equate the absence of Ministry of Education oversight with a lack of accreditation, which reflects a narrow and outdated perspective. This misunderstanding continues to limit the broader recognition of Máster Propio degrees.
- Belgium: Máster Propio degrees are no longer evaluated. Despite pursuing legal action, it has been confirmed that these programs are not recognized in Belgium.
- Sweden: Similarly, Sweden has stopped evaluating Máster Propio degrees, making recognition there impossible.
