Implementation of the Europass Diploma Supplement across Irish higher Ed institutions

The Diploma Supplement is part of the suite of Europass tools and is a key resource for aiding the transparency and recognition of higher education qualifications. The Diploma Supplement document is issued in a standardised format and contains information on a graduate’s academic achievements and the national education system where the qualification was obtained. For graduates, this standardised, detailed information makes it easier to communicate and explain their qualification to employers, authorities, and educational institutions at home and abroad.

As the Irish National Europass Centre (NEC), QQI is responsible for promoting the Diploma Supplement, supporting higher education institutions (HEIs) that issue/wish to start issuing the document, and updating the template to ensure accurate information is provided on the education system in Ireland. A key deliverable of the Europass and European Qualifications Framework – National Coordination Point (EQF-NCP) 2024 - 2026 project for Ireland is the revision of the Section 8 of the Irish Diploma Supplement template to reflect recent changes to the Irish education landscape.
