Diploma Supplement (eng)

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is an international document provided with a diploma to give a detailed
and independent description of the qualifications attained by a candidate. It does not replace the diploma,
but supplements it.
The DS has a standard layout and is divided into 8 sections.
Section 8, which describes the country's system of higher education, is a standard text included in all
diploma supplements issued in the country concerned.

From spring 2002, Norway has introduced statutory automatic issue of diploma supplements to all
students on graduation. The DS is already an integral part of the electronic student registration systems
at Norwegian higher education institutions, FS (the Common Student Registration System) and MSTAS.
The DS shall be provided to graduates free of charge.

At Narvik University College all students who accomplish the Bachelor or Master Degree receive the DS,
as of the year 2002 / 2003.

Diploma Supplement is issued in english only.
