Degrees and diplomas

Chalmers is permitted to award the following degrees. A person who satisfies the requirements for a degree is entitled, on application and without cost, to a degree diploma. 

Diploma supplement

Each degree diploma is accompanied by a Diploma Supplement, which describes the degree it accompanies by cycle, goals and content as well as eligibility to studies within higher cycles.
 
The Diploma Supplement is being issued in a widely spoken European language, at Chalmers we use English, given automatically and free of charge to every student upon graduation. It is an integral part of the degree diploma and should always accompany it when it is required to present the degree diploma.
