Certificates and Exams

Recognition of certificates

Our level accreditation certificates are university certificates, issued by the UAB Language Service and recognised by all Catalan universities, the Government of Catalonia and many companies and organisations. They are valid, for example, to recognise credits at the UAB, to accredit language level in competitive examinations, to apply for Erasmus grants and also to access Master's degrees that require a certain language level from the universities of Catalonia.

The B1-B2-C1 multi-level exam in English certificate is also recognised by the Association of Language Centres in Higher Education (ACLES). The certificates admitted in the ACLES table are recognised in all Spanish universities.

At the UAB, level certificates from the Language Service are accepted for recognition of credit during undergraduate studies, in accordance with the UAB Academic Regulations (Articles 234, 235 and 236 and Annex XIV).

The certificates recognised in Catalonia, especially at universities, are those that appear in the Official Gazette of the Government of Catalonia, specifically in this resolution dated 21.3.2024: https://dogc.gencat.cat/ca/document-del-dogc/?documentId=988379.

As for the Catalan certificates we issue, which range from level A2 to level C2, they are inter-university and are also widely recognised.
