The Diploma Supplement is issued by universities in line with standards set by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO, and is also a Europass tool.
Specifically, the Diploma Supplement indicates the following information:
-

-
the contents and marks obtained
-
official certification of the supplement
