Digital degree certificate
The University of Eastern Finland issues digital degree certificates. Your digital certificate includes
- a cover page in Finnish and English
- a transcript of academic records in Finnish and English
- a Diploma Supplement in English, which describes the objectives, content and status of the degree within the Finnish education system.
Your digital degree certificate is only official in PDF format. Do not edit the PDF file, as this will invalidate the digital signature. You can verify the signature certificate in Atomi Validator. If you wish, you can also request a paper copy of your digital certificate.
