Description of your Dutch diploma
A diploma description is an explanation of a specific school type and is issued in your name. It also states which diploma you have been awarded and in which subjects you took examinations. A description does not describe the content of the subjects you took.
You can request a statement for following types of education: LBO, VBO, VMBO, MAVO, HAVO, VWO, MULO, HBS, and MMS. The statement is only available in Dutch.
