In the modern world, higher education represents much more than a diploma. To ensure that your qualification is fully understood by employers, educational institutions, and professional communities, a clear explanation of the content and structure of your studies is essential. That’s why every graduate of a Ukrainian higher education institution receives a Diploma Supplement along with their diploma.
The Europass platform has published the official sample of the Ukrainian Higher Education Diploma Supplement. The document is available in both Ukrainian and English and helps to standardize the presentation of Ukrainian education within the European Higher Education Area.
You can now explore the structure and content of the Diploma Supplement directly on the Europass website: https://europass.europa.eu/en/diploma-supplement-example-documents
