Verification
The University of Fribourg offers the possibility of verifying the degree conferred mentioned in the diploma according to different modalities, depending on the year of issue of the original document. The Diploma Supplement can be verified directly.
Verification of the degree conferred
The diploma of the University of Fribourg, an original document of official character, is signed by hand by the Rector of the University of Fribourg and the Dean of the faculty that conferred the title. The document must bear the official Seal of the institution.
As of 2020, the University of Fribourg provides a system that allows the immediate verification of the degree conferred by means of a QR code on the original diploma. The user will thus receive an electronic document via an Internet browser which confirms the relationship between the verified diploma and its holder. This verification document contains the degree conferred, the date on which it was obtained, the faculty that conferred it and, if applicable, the distinction received.
When verifying the QR Code, it must be ensured that the electronic document thus obtained was issued by the official authority. It is therefore essential that the address called up in the Internet browser starts with https://admin.unifr.ch/

An application for verification of an original diploma issued before 2020 without a QR Code can be submitted to the Academic Directorate of the University of Fribourg, the authority responsible for drawing up this document.
Verification of the Diploma Supplement
The Diploma Supplement, which is an official document issued exclusively in electronic form (PDF document), bears neither a handwritten signature nor the official seal of the institution.
As of 2020, each document is provided with a QR Code verification system that will give the user access at any time to the original electronic document issued, which can be downloaded into an Internet browser.
When verifying the QR Code, it must be ensured that the electronic document thus obtained was issued by the official authority. It is therefore essential that the address called up in the Internet browser starts with https://admin.unifr.ch/
A request for review of a Diploma Supplement issued before 2020 which does not have a QR Code can be addressed to the Academic Directorate of the University of Fribourg, the official authority responsible for the production of this document.
