The DS Label received by BUT certifies that the diploma supplements received by the graduates free of charge are correct. Both the labels certify that BUT meets the strict higher-education criteria imposed by the European Union. They significantly help extend student mobility opening the university to international students. The ECTS Label is the most prestigious European award in tertiary education certifying the fulfilment of the university's strategic goals in the European higher- 5
