Diploma Supplement (DS)

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is a document designed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO, to facilitate international transparency and academic and professional recognition of official qualifications. In Spain it is known as the Suplemento Europeo al Título. It provides additional information to that stated on the University Degree Certificate and is issued in three languages: Spanish, Basque and English.

Undergraduate and Master's Degree Qualifications

Anyone requesting a University Undergraduate or Master's Degree Certificate on or after 26 April 2017 will automatically be issued a DS also.

Undergraduate and Master's degree graduates who already have their University Degree Certificate and wish to receive a DS also, may request one from 26 April 2017 onwards, by completing this form.

Degrees dating from before the Bologna reform

Graduates who earned their degrees prior to the Bologna reform may request a DS from the Secretary of the University at which they studied. They should receive their DS within a period of approximately one week from the date of application.
