Durham University Document Store

The Diploma Supplement is a document which describes your qualification in a standard format that is designed to be easily understood and straightforward to compare. It contains information on the level, context, content and status of the studies that were successfully undertaken. A transcript is an official copy of your academic record listing modules taken. It is prepared on bespoke transcript paper and is issued by the University of Durham. The Diploma Supplement allows other universities or employers to understand your qualification in relation to the higher education system of England. This could help you to get a job, continue your education or start more training. The Diploma Supplement is not a replacement for the parchment/transcript and does not guarantee recognition.

A photocopy or scan of your degree parchment (or transcript) supplied by you, is authenticated as a true copy of the original. We will certify transcripts if you upload this document instead of your parchment. You will need to upload a copy of this item. Dark or poor quality scans will not be accepted.
