  4. The UK’s European University • Geographical position ‘Gateway to Europe’ • High numbers of European students (c.9%) • High numbers of non-EU students (c.11%) • Participation in Erasmus and other EU-funded programmes • Campuses in Brussels and Paris • European Schools and Centres • Erasmus Mundus • Double/Joint degrees with European partners

  5. Diploma Supplement at Kent: Background • 1987: Involvement in Erasmus Programme • 4-year ‘Erasmus’ degrees • 1989: ECTS Pilot Programme (Chemistry) • University-wide adoption of ECTS • 2005: European Diploma Supplement • Work commenced some years earlier

  6. Pre-Requisite for DS • Centralised bespoke Student Data System • Student details • Modules • Code, title, credit value, level • Breakdown of marks • ECTS and local credits • Historical perspective on marks for ECTS grade calculation

  7. Secure Web-based Access • 2005 and 2006 paper copies of DS issued • In 2007 we moved to a secure web-based system, provided by Digitary™ • Every graduate can access and print their own DS from home, or share electronically and completely securely with 3rd party (such as prospective employer) • Available free of charge and in perpetuity

  8. Online entry point to DS

Some statistics • Documents issued through the Digitary system • 2007:  12140 (including all since 2005)  • 2008: 3377 • 2009: 5659 • 2010:   124* (special requests – overall job still in progress) • Documents shared – i.e. picked up by the recipient and used with a 3rd party: • 2007:    103 • 2008:    499 • 2009:    256 • 2010:     82* (special requests – overall job still in progress)

  10. Benefits of DS and Label • High profile on web • Contributes to European identity • Employability agenda • Non-UK recruitment • Perceived benefits on graduation with future employer/HEI outside UK • Reflection of Kent’s international profile • UK recruits’ awareness raised in relation to benefits for future career/study outside the UK • Underlines our commitment to EHEA when bidding for funding under EU programmes – eg Erasmus Mundus • Ready for HEAR?
