This centre is part of the national ministry of education and co-operates with the 'Commision d'homologation des titres et grades d'enseignement supérieur' and the 'Commision des Titres'.
Applications on the recognition of educational certificates have to be submitted to the ministry of education. The decisions are finally made by the national minister of education.
Luxembourg does not have a complete system of higher education and cannot award academic degrees. Luxembourg's system does only offer courses of study for the first year of study. If Louxembourgian students return to their country after having been awarded a foreign degree, there is either
an official recognition (=homologation) for degrees in jurisprudence, medicine, dental medicine, pharmaceutics or veterinary medicine as well as for vocational certificates (e.g. teacher qualifications in secondary education for the arts or scientific subjects)
or an entry into the register of degrees (this is the case for any other degree).
A special committee might be asked for which then is to comment on the protection of foreign degrees or diplomas.
