Diploma Supplement

THE DIPLOMA SUPPLEMENT  (DS LABEL)

The Diploma Supplement is an internationally recognized document issued free of charge together with a Bachelor, Master or Doctoral Diploma. It arose on the basis of the Lisbon Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region from 1997. Its structure is in compliance with the unified outline set by the European Commission, Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES. The Diploma Supplement has been issued in compliance with the Act No. 111/1998 of Universities since 2006.
This document summarizes, in Czech and English, information about a completed study programme including all passed exams and their assessment. The Diploma Supplement supplements and specifies the information included in a higher-education diploma. It provides a description of the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies that were pursued and successfully completed. It further includes information about subjects/courses completed as a part of studies abroad, the Diploma thesis and its defence, the State Final Exam and the overall assessment of studies. The Diploma Supplement also contains the schema of the system of education in the Czech Republic.
The purpose of the supplement is to provide sufficient independent data to improve the international ‘transparency’ and fair academic and professional recognition of qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates etc.).
TUL has been issuing the Diploma Supplement free of charge to all graduates of Bachelor, Master and Doctoral study programmes since the academic year 2004/2005.
Graduates who graduated earlier can receive the supplement by request.
The Diploma Supplement is printed on an A3 format sheet of paper with a ground tint, the hologram of the university and the print of the university stamp. It contains a watermark. A sample of the Diploma Supplement can be found in the appendix.
