Diploma Supplement

In accordance with Ministerial Decree no. 226/2021, starting from the 38th cycle, PhD Students will be issued a Diploma Supplement upon completion of their doctoral programme.

The Diploma Supplement includes all the educational and training activities in which the PhD Student has participated during their doctoral studies.

For candidates from the 38th and 39th cycles, the data entry process began in February 2025, with the launch of the new "Libretti" function available on Dottorandi. 

All PhD Students are therefore required to enter all training activities (e.g. PhD courses, PhD schools, conferences, etc.)  attended to date, following the guidelines provided by the UNIBO PhD Unit (AFORM). They are available both in Italian and English in the Attachments section below.

If supporting documentation is missing and can no longer be retrieved or if certain details are not indicated (e.g., number of hours), PhD Students may use the self-declaration form available in the Attachments section below.

Please note that for each activity entered, PhD Students of 38th and 39th cycle must indicate 0 Doctoral Credits.
