Page 3 Project Content 1. Collecting examples of real Diploma Supplements issued to graduates (April-May) 2. Reading through and analysing the DS examples: identifying how they communicate information to the reader, and how useful the information is to the different users: HEIs, students, credential evaluators, and the labour market (June-July) 3. <strong>Study</strong> visits to HEIs that have particularly well established processes and procedures for issuing Diploma Supplements (September-October) 4. Compiling the findings into a document to serve the HEIs around Europe (November-December) Page 4 Initial Findings: Cross-reading • Reading/analysis of 26 DS-examples from 22 countries • Quality generally good, but space for improvement: 1. Nature of the DS too “national”; main audience international & outside HE 2. Information relevant to labour market missing / insufficient 3. Readability & clarity could be improved 4. Parts of the DS missing or inaccurately filled in 56
Pages 5 Initial Findings: Cross-reading The analysis also showed that there is an obvious need for international cooperation and QA work: Current international guidelines not sufficient = misunderstandings and / or different interpretations of how the DS model should be used Some parts more “demanding” than others Significant variations in quality Pages 6 Initial Findings: <strong>Study</strong> Visits • <strong>Study</strong> visits to three universities (Finland, France, Turkey) • Aim was to collect information and good practises • Attention should be paid to: 1. Process / compiling of the DS; Information included in the DS, such as learning outcomes; Division of responsibilities; QA etc. 2. Expectations and needs of stakeholders 3. The HEIs own interest and motivation to develop the DS vital 4. National support & guidance importance 57
