Diploma data

Diploma data correction online form

Please note that your personal data in Neptun will be reflected on your diploma. It only takes a one-letter typo to get your postgraduate studies stalled or failed. A duplicate diploma requires a permission, takes a long time to obtain and has to be paid for. In addition to your personal details, it is also very important that your mother’s maiden name is entered correctly. Make sure your mother’s birth name is in Neptun, not her married name. This information is required for medical registration. If the information is incorrect, they will not be able to give you a registration number.

Therefore, we ask that you keep your personal data up-to-date in the NEPTUN system:
