Europass Diploma Supplement Application Profile of the EuroLMAI (EuroLMAI Europass DS AP)

Scope

This specification defines refinements to the EuroLMAI model for representing the Europass DS.

The Europass Diploma Supplement Application Profile of EuroLMAI (in brief: "EuroLMAI Europass DS-AP"), in full compliance with the Europass requirements, focuses on the expression of information regarding the qualification awarded to a learner upon completion of a formal educational programme. The proposed profile is needed for the general purposes of:

- the exploitation of academic achievements abroad: in continuing education or in seeking job opportunities
- the admission of students or graduates in home and European universities: acknowledgment of credits or transfer of credits accumulated in home institutions moving from one university to another
- the expression of the level, content and nature of qualifications to potential employers both nationally and at a European level
- the enhancement of internal and European student mobility, from a university to another, or from one branch of studies to another
- the proper integration of foreign workers into a country's employment setting
- the normalisation of higher education qualifications, either in academic or non academic paths
- the establishment of good practices in the recognition procedures of qualifications among Higher Education Institutions
