In compliance with Paragraph 8, Article 11 of Minsterial Decrees No. 509/1999 and 270/2004, Politecnico di Torino issues the Diploma Supplement, an information document accompanying a higher education diploma (Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree – laurea specialistica/magistrale).
It is designed to improve the transparency of international qualifications, as it provides the description of the programme of study  successfully completed by the student.
It helps employers to understand and evaluate new academic qualifications; it facilitates academic and professional recognition of Italian qualifications abroad and it boosts international free circulation of graduates.
This certificate follows the European model developed by the European Commission, Council of Europe and UNESCO – CEPES: it is issued in two languages (Italian-English) and it is composed of approximately 10 pages.
The Diploma Supplement is not issued for qualifications obtained under the university systems which pre-date Ministerial Decree No. 509/99.

The Diploma Supplementi is available from the personal page of the Teaching Portal, under the section “Segreteria on-line” – “Certificati”/”Certificates” – “Diploma Supplement”.
The Diploma Supplement bears the phrase “firma omessa ai sensi del D.Lgs. n.39 del 12/02/1993 art.3” (signature is omitted in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 39 of 12/0271993, Article 3). 
 
In case the document needs to bear the original signature and official stamp, the Office of Student Services will take care of issuing it.
The Diploma Supplement first copy is free of charge; further copies require the payment of 0,63 Euro per page.
