What Is the Diploma Supplement?
The Diploma Supplement is a personal document issued to graduates of higher education institutions together with their diploma or degree certificate. It does not replace the degree itself or the academic transcript, nor does it constitute an automatic system guaranteeing recognition of the qualification.
It is a document that provides additional information about the awarded degree and accurately describes the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired by the graduate. In this way, the Diploma Supplement makes the qualification more recognizable, understandable, and comparable internationally, while also documenting the graduate’s academic pathway and achievements throughout their studies.

Legal Framework
The Diploma Supplement was developed by UNESCO and the Council of Europe, while its implementation was adopted in 2004 by the European Parliament (Decision 2241/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council concerning a single Community framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences).
