In the UK and Ireland, the veterinary and dental degrees are recognized by the following institutions:

-The Veterinary Council of Ireland
-The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons

USA

Graduates are usually required to successfully pass all steps of the USMLE examination before they may obtain a licence to practise medicine in the USA.

IMS offer to the the students preparation course toward the USMLE examination.

Graduates from Caribbean medical schools are taught under USMLE guidelines, with the intention to have a high USMLE pass rate. Therefore, students interested in practising medicine in the USA are strongly advised to consider studying medicine at a Caribbean medical school.

Other countries

In academic year 2001/2002 the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) was implemented. This system enables easy transfer to Universities within the EU. The courses studied at UPJS and SSGW and BRNO are recognized at Universities in other EU countries, as are the credit points they are each worth. Complying by this system also creates curriculum transparency further improving the recognition of degrees.

In those professions where the conditions of education in Slovakia Poland or Czech Republic are identical with those in the European Union, which have already been recognized (medical and dental doctors), the member states of the European Union are obliged to accept the diplomas issued irrespective of the language of instruction.
