Diploma Supplement

Lærestedets visittkort

Bakgrunn

Universitets- og høgskoleloven1.8.2005

§ 3-11. Vitnemål

(1) Institusjonen utferdiger vitnemål om fullført utdanning. Samtidig skal det utferdiges Diploma Supplement. NOKUT kan gi retningslinjer for innholdet i Diploma Supplement. (PÅLEGG)

Lisboa konvensjonen – The Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher

Education in the European Region 1997

“The Parties shall promote, through the national information centres or otherwise, the use of the Unesco/Council of Europe Diploma Supplement or any other comparable document by the higher education institutions of the Parties.” (pålegg)

48 land har ratifisert konvensjonen. Norge ratifiserte konvensjonen i 1999 som det første av de nordiske land.

Revised recommendation: Where learning outcomes are clearly documented, for example in the European Commission/Council of Europe/UNESCO Diploma Supplement, or comparable documents, assessment should take these into consideration. (23 June 2010)

Bolognaprosessen

Bolognaerklæringen i 1999:

1. satsningsområde:

”Adaption of a system of easily and comparable degrees, also through the implementation of the Diploma Supplement, in order to promote European citizens employability and the international competitiveness of the European higher education system.”

Bologna Process Stocktaking Report 2009

“The Diploma Supplement (DS) is being implemented but not as widely as would have been expected. Despite the commitment to issuing the DS to all graduates automatically, free of charge and in a widely spoken European language by 2005, just over a half of the countries have managed to implement it fully by 2009.”

Ingenting i den internasjonale malen får endres!

Ledeteksten skal være med!

This Diploma Supplement follows the model developed by the European Commission, Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES. The purpose of the supplement is to provide sufficient independent data to improve the international “transparency” and fair academic and professional recognition of qualifications (diplomas, degrees, certificates etc.). It is designed to provide a description of the nature, level, context, content and status of the studies that were pursued and successfully completed by the individual named on the original qualification to which this supplement is appended. It should be free from any value-judgements, equivalence statements or suggestions about recognition. Information in all eight sections should be provided. Where information is not provided, an explanation should give the reason why.

Anbefaling i tilknytning til punkt 4.4|

4.4 Grading scheme and, if available, grade distribution guidance:Mange læresteder beskriver fremdeles både den gamle og den “nye” karakterskalaen.

Det bør være unødvendig å beskrive den gamle skalaen fordi de aller fleste kandidatene i dag har ikke tatt eksamener under den gamle ordningen.

Karaktertabellen ligger også under punkt 8.

7. Certification of the supplement

7.1 Date:(The date the Diploma Supplement was issued. This would not

necessarily be the same date the qualification was awarded.)

7.2 Name and signature(The name and signature of the official certifying the Diploma

Supplement.)

7.3 Capacity:(The official post of the certifying individual.)

7.4 Official stamp or seal:

Alle punkter skal være med!

8. Information on the national higher education system

NOKUT har ansvaret for å oppdatere punkt 8. i Diploma Supplement. Fra NOKUT sendes teksten til USIT, som så implementerer versjonen til våre maskiner.

Det kommer en ny versjon i dette vårsemesteret! (2011)

Det er viktig å påse at man klikker på rett versjon når man utsteder en DS. Dvs at dersom en skriver ut et vitnemål og en DS fra før 2005 bør en bruke en gammel versjon av punkt 8.

The transcript of Records (ToR) i tilknytning til Diploma Supplement

”Del av Diploma supplement.Engelskspråklig karakterutskrift over

beståtte eksamener og prøver. Den skal være identisk med informasjonen i ”Grunnlag for vitnemål”, dvs den karakterutskriften som er en del av vitnemålet og som viser når studenten har oppnådd graden. Antall studiepoeng angis i antall ECTS-credits.”

Rapport (2010) fra ei arbeidsgruppe oppnemnt av Universitets- og høgskolerådet.

Bologna-prosessen og Diploma SupplementMinisterkonferansen i Bergen 2005

”Vi vedtar det overordnete rammeverket for kvalifikasjoner i Det europeiske området for høyere utdanning, med tre nivåer for grader (inkludert, i nasjonal sammenheng, muligheten for kvalifikasjoner mellom gradsnivåene), allmenne deskriptorer for hvert gradsnivå basert på læringsutbytte og kompetanse, og et definert omfang av studiepoeng for første og andre nivå. Vi forplikter oss til å utarbeide nasjonale rammeverk for kvalifikasjoner som er forenlige med det overordnete rammeverket innen 2010, og til å ha begynt arbeidet innen 2007.”

Kvalifikasjonsrammeverket og Diploma Supplement

Innføringen av det nasjonale kvalifikasjonsrammeverket er en del av Bologna-prosessen

Siste fasen i implementeringen av det nasjonale rammeverket er en såkalt selvsertifiseringsoppgave

Norge – Fastsettelse av nasjonalt rammeverk for kvalifikasjoner for høyere utdanning 20.3.2009, KD

- ved utgangen av 2012 skal alle studie- og fagplaner være i samsvar med kvalifikasjonsrammeverket

- selvsertifisering av om det nasjonale rammeverket er i overensstemmelse med det europeiske i 2013

Norge – Fastsettelse av nasjonalt rammeverk for kvalifikasjoner for høyere utdanning 20.3.2009

”Det fastsatte kvalifikasjonsrammeverket er søkt tilpasset både det overordnete, europeiske rammeverket for høyere utdanning i Bologna prosessen og EUs kvalifikasjonsrammeverk for livslang læring (EQF)”

Hva betyr selvsertifisering

Det nasjonale rammeverket skal sjekkes at den er i samsvar (kompatibel) med det europeiske kvalifikasjonsrammeverket for høyere utdanning EHEA-QF. Det nasjonale rammeverket skal være basert på læringsutbyttebeskrivelser og kvalifikasjonene (gradene) knyttet til ECTS-systemet. Linken mellom det nasjonale rammeverket og EHEA-QF skal synliggjøres i Diploma Supplement.

Kriteriene ble utarbeidet av en Bologna-arbeidsgruppe, oppnevnt av ministrenes Bologna - Follow-up Group (A Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education, Bologna Working Group on Qualifications Frameworks, Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation, February 2005)

Selvsertifisering1) The national framework for higher education qualifications and

the body or bodies responsible for its development are designated by the national ministry with responsibility for higher education.

2) There are clear demonstrable link between the qualifications in the national framework and the cycle qualification descriptors of the European framework.

3) The national framework and its qualifications are demonstrably based on learning outcomes and the qualifications are linked to ECTS or ECTS compatible credits.

4) The procedures for inclusion of qualifications in the national framework are clear.

5) The national quality assurance systems for higher education refer to the national framework of qualifications and are consistent with the Berlin Communiqué and any subsequent communiqué agreed by ministers in the Bologna process.

6) The national framework and any alignments with the European framework are referenced in all Diploma Supplements

7) The responsibilities of the domestic parties to the national framework are clearly determined and published.

Punkt 8 i Diploma Supplement (NOKUT følger opp)

“Only following the self-certification process should any link be made between section 8 of the Diploma Supplement “information on the higher education system” and the overarching framework for qualifications of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).”

Selvsertifiseringsprosessen1. The competent national body/bodies shall certify the compatibility

of the national framework with the European framework

2. The self-certification process shall include the stated agreement of the quality assurance bodies in the country in question recognised through the Bologna process.

3. The self-certification process shall involve international experts.

4. The self-certification and the evidence supporting it shall be published and shall address separately each of the criteria set out.

5. The ENIC and NARIC networks shall maintain a public listing of States that have confirmed that they have completed the self-certification process.

6. The completion of the self-certification process shall be noted on Diploma Supplements issued subsequently by showing the link between the national framework and the European framework.

Diploma Supplement, del av punkt 8, febr. 2009 (Trinity College Dublin)

National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) In terms of higher education and training, the NFQ sets the overall standards for all higher education and training awards. It is the single, nationally and internationally accepted entity, through which all learning achievements may be measured. It also defines the relationship between all education and training awards. It is a 10-level framework based on learning outcomes that are determined by standards of knowledge, skill and competence. Higher education and training awards are at NFQ Levels 6 to 10 and may be made by HETAC, DIT, the Universities and Institutes of Technology with delegated authority. The framework consists of 16 major award types with minor and special purpose awards available at each level and supplemental awards available at NFQ Levels 4 to 10. All awards included in the Framework are underpinned by legislative quality assurance arrangements. The major awards of the NFQ are set out below together with the alignment to the ‘Bologna’ Framework and the draft alignment to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF):

‘Bologna’ Framework of Qualifications/European Qualifications Framework

*The Bologna Process, which commenced in 1999, is designed to lead to the creation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by 2010. A central initiative in the process is the adoption of a system based on three cycles – undergraduate, graduate and doctorate. The NFQ was formally aligned with the ‘Bologna’ Framework in 2006.

**Running parallel to the Bologna Process is the development of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning. The National Framework is to be aligned with the EQF in 2009 (see draft alignment above). Alignment facilitates the recognition of learning and supports access, transfer and progression for learners.

Please note: Information on the Irish National Higher Education and Training System is provided by the Irish National Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC), located at the offices of the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland, and can be contacted via e-mail, info@qualrec.ie.
