Mexico’s equivalent of a master’s degree is the maestria, a graduate degree awarded after the licenciatura. If you earned your degree outside Mexico, employers and universities there will usually want to understand how it compares.
No foreign university can declare its own degree equivalent in another country. Recognition depends on credential evaluation services and, for licensed professions, on Mexican authorities. If you plan to work in Mexico, get an evaluation from a recognized service before you apply for jobs.
For regulated fields like medicine, law, and engineering, check whether your profession requires local licensing or revalidation of your studies. Rules differ by field.
Start the evaluation process early, since it can take weeks. Related: international student admission, master’s equivalence in Pakistan, and online degree credibility.
