Validate a bachelor of physics from south america (uruguay) to europe / america

[maurre]

Hi...

I am thinking about following my studies in europe or america and i really don't know (and I've no found information on internet about it either) if i can validate my bachelor/degree/PhD from my uni here, to an european or american one; because my possibilities are limited here, to be physicist is not a well-known career, and how you can deduce there're not a lot of jobs involve in the most important fields of the market here and less the ones i'd like to keep on studying, my only chance here is to be a professor practically, but i don't like teaching at all, i'd prefer to research or to be in charge of quality controls

if someone passed by the same situation and does not mind guide me through
i would be very grateful, thanks! i really appreciate it

(i also apologize because my english is not good enough and I've probably made a lot of mistakes in my post)

Hi Maurre!

Welcome to PhysicsForums. I found two links that I hope will be of help to you in your search:

Recognition of Foreign Qualifications in the US

http://www.hero.ac.uk/uk/studying/international_students__guide/comparing_qualifications.cfm

Even if it doesn't give you exactly what you want (I didn't study it intensively) then I believe it might be a good place to start looking.

Hope that helps!

PS: Your English is fine...it doesn't matter if you make a couple of mistakes as long as people can understand you Also remember that there are many people who can speak only one language

OMG, thank you very much, I am just about to finish a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and looking to continue my studies abroad (I was firstly thinking about the US, but the processes and eligibility requirements are such a pain in the but, so I decided to go to the UK, where it is legal to work as a student (unlike the US), and I've been looking for a site like this. Too bad this website never showed up at my searches ... it's been VERY helpful, thank you VERY MUCH!

Glad to be of service!
