The matter of recognition of masters' and doctorate titles from the countries of Mercosur

Abstract

This article examines the problem of recognizing Masters' and Doctorate titles from the Mercosur countries, an increasingly growing issue in Brazil since the proliferation of stricto sensu courses in other Mercosur countries. The study concludes that the agreement signed by Brazil in the Mercosur does not exclude the requirement for national revalidation of these titles under the Law of Directives and Bases of Education.
