Information about Europass

Europass and education institutions

Education institutions can support internationalization of students and graduates with Europass. Institutions issue documents and attachments to ease students’ and graduates’ application for studying or working in Europe. For education institutions, certificate attachments and a mobility document are especially important. Institutions are responsible for providing these documents to their students.

Institutions can advise students and graduates to use Europass, help them use it, and include Europass in the teaching. Europass helps students and graduates examine and plan their progress with studies and career in Finland and abroad.

The Europass centre in Finland is the Finnish National Agency for Education. It supports schools and higher education institutions in matters related to Europass.
