Mutual recognition agreements

UK ENIC leads technical discussions and supports negotiations and drafts treaty texts for mutual recognition agreements between the UK and other countries.

We have helped create mutual recognition agreements between the UK and Argentina, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and Peru.

These agreements are integral to trade deals and co-operation between countries. They also benefit students and higher education institutions by encouraging student mobility and creating international education partnerships.
