Recognition Agreement between Ireland and China
Qualification Recognition Agreement between Ireland and China
On 23 February 2006 the Minister for Education and Science, Mary Hanafin T.D., today formally signed an international agreement between the Irish and Chinese governments for the mutual recognition of higher education qualifications. The agreement was signed between the Minister and her Chinese counterpart, Mr Zhou Ji in Beijing. It follows an initial commitment made by the two Ministers last year during the Government trade mission to China, led by the Taoiseach. The agreement provides for the recognition of higher education awards from sub-degree (higher certificate) to doctorate levels. It will ensure that students and graduates travelling between both countries for the pursuit of further study or employment will have their existing qualifications recognised. China already has similar agreements with Britain, France, Germany, New Zealand and Australia.
