The Diploma Supplement accompanies the university diploma and contains a standardised description of the type, level, context and status of the degree programme successfully completed by the student. The Diploma Supplement creates transparency and simplifies the academic and professional recognition of professional qualifications (diplomas, academic degrees, achievement, etc.). In 1999, the University of Liechtenstein was one of the first institutions in Europe to introduce this EU/UNESCO/Council of Europe Diploma Supplement proposal, which it has since awarded to graduates as an accompaniment to the diploma.
