Diploma Supplement

When graduating from a Finnish university or polytechnic, you will automatically receive an English-language Diploma Supplement from your institution to complement the actual Finnish degree diploma.

The Diploma Supplement is an appendix to your Finnish diploma. It is not a substitute for the original diploma, nor does it automatically guarantee recognition of the qualification, but it can assist you in using your Finnish degree in international contexts – whether you are applying for further studies, or presenting your Finnish qualification to a non-Finnish employer when applying for a job.

Your Diploma Supplement contains information on:

• The Finnish higher education system
• The Finnish university / polytechnic that has awarded the degree
• The level of your qualification
• Credit system and degree structure
• The grading scheme
• The academic and professional competence provided by the degree
• Other possible information regarding your degree

You can find more information on the Diploma supplement on the Europass pages at www.europass.fi

The Europass Diploma Supplement is a document developed jointly by the EU, the Council of Europe and UNESCO.
