Notes on Diploma Supplement – EUROPA:

Recognition of prior learning in Europe
According to the European Commission (EC) published on , 6 May 2022 and Last updated: :
“To be accepted by higher education institutions as part of the pre-requisites to begin a programme of study or in contribution to a qualification, prior learning needs to be formally recognised. In some countries, some requirements to begin a programme of study may be fulfilled fulfilled by formally recognised non-formal or informal learning. For example, it may be possible to start a Master’s degree without having completed a Bachelor’s degree, if you can supply formally recognised proof of prior learning in other forms.”
How to validate prior learning
“To validate prior learning, the following steps are generally required
- Applying for recognition – this may include providing documentation evidencing prior learning and/or the completion of a self-assessment of the skills and competencies declared
- Assessment of the application – can include interviews or further requests for evidence
- Outcome – certification of partial or full qualifications, and/or acceptance as a part of the admission process.
You should be aware that not all applications will result in a positive outcome. Each university individually determines the requirements for acceptance onto their programmes.“
Learning takes many shapes and forms. Generally, it is categorised in three groupings
- formal learning – normally takes place in formal education institutions, such as schools and universities, is typically certified by a qualification or diploma, planned and structured by learning objectives
- non-formal learning – is usually structured, planned and occurs in the form of activities, such as in-company professional training, but does not always result in a diploma
- informal learning – is experienced as part of diverse activities, unstructured, includes for example digital skills acquired through leisure activities.
