The procedure regulates the recognition at Transilvania University of Brașov of the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor in sciences or in a professional field, obtained at:

​(a) accredited higher education institutions from a member state of the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation;

(b) accredited higher education institutions outside the countries provided for in letter (a), included on the list of prestigious universities from other states, approved/updated by order of the minister;

(c) accredited higher education institutions subject to an international mutual recognition agreement concluded at the intergovernmental level;

(d) accredited higher education institutions from countries other than those mentioned in letters (a)-(c); in such a case, the recognition of the diploma/title of doctor is conditioned by the fulfillment of the quality standards imposed on a doctoral thesis at the national level (including regarding the content of the doctoral thesis).

For the recognition of the doctoral diploma and the title of doctor in sciences or in a professional field, UNITBV collaborates with the National Center for Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas (CNRED) and respectively the National Committee for the Attestation of University Titles, Diplomas and Certificates (CNATDCU), and annually sends CNRED a centralized situation of recognition requests and the decisions issued. In case the intergovernmental international agreement (accredited higher education institutions subject to an international mutual recognition agreement, concluded at the intergovernmental level) provides, for recognition, the fulfillment of the national procedures for attesting doctoral titles, applicable to Romanian citizens, the files are sent to CNRED to be forwarded to CNATDCU for assessment. Based on the CNATDCU decision, the university issues the recognition or non-recognition decision, as applicable.

The doctoral diplomas subject to recognition will be authenticated with the Hague Apostille for states that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, and for other states, the documents will be superlegalized or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin. Exemption from apostille or superlegalization is permitted under the law for persons who benefit from a form of international protection on the territory of Romania, in accordance with the provisions of an international treaty to which Romania is a party or when the study documents can be verified in the online databases of the issuing institutions or of authorities in the country of origin. In the event that there are suspicions regarding the authenticity of the study documents, UNITBV will notify the competent authorities.
