Diploma Supplement
All students who graduate from a Degree programme at Fontys Hogescholen (Fontys University of Applied Sciences) receive an English Diploma Supplement.Automatically and free of charge.
In October 2011 the European Commission announced, that Fontys Hogescholen has been awarded the Diploma Supplement Label (DS Label).
With this honorary distinction you can be assured that the Diploma Supplements of Fontys Hogescholen, which are issued with the Degree certificates, are issued in conformity with the European regulations. Unequivocally formatted information on the Degree programmes and the certificates are important for our graduates with regards to future employers and further education within and outside the Netherlands. Thus the quality of our graduates and the value of the degree certificates can be objectively and independently compared and understood.
As of May 2005 Fontys issues the Diploma supplement. In the meantime all degree programmes of Fontys introduced the diploma supplement.
The Diploma Supplement is an attachment to the certificate and provides
insight into the level, nature and content of the study programme that was successfully
completed. It includes a description of the study programme that was pursued and the results gained.
The Diploma Supplement has been implemented within the scope of the Bologna process to improve the ‘transparency’ and equivalence in higher education in Europe and the professional and academic recognition of qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates etc.).
The Diploma Supplement provides future international employers or institutions for follow-up studies insight into the main elements of the study programme that was pursued.
The Fontys Diploma Supplement is issued in English and has been developed
according to the template that has been developed by a joint European Commission -
Council of Europe – UNESCO/CEPES working party. It includes a description of the study programme that was pursued, as well as information on the Dutch education system.
