The Diploma Supplement

The Diploma Supplement is a document attached to a higher education qualification aiming at improving transparency and facilitating recognition. It is designed to provide a description of the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies that were successfully completed by the individual named on the original qualification to which this supplement is appended. This flexible tool was initiated by UNESCO and revised jointly by UNESCO, the European Commission and the Council of Europe.
