About HEAR and eligibility

Information for UCL staff about the HEAR and which students are eligible.

About HEAR

The HEAR is a national requirement. It includes the model developed by the European Commission, Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES for a diploma supplement. The HEAR provides a description of the nature, level and context of a programme. As well as verifying academic results it also records non-degree related achievements that have been verified by UCL. These include:

  • being an officer of a Club or Society;
  • voluntary activity that has been recognised by the Voluntary Services Unit as being significant enough for inclusion in a HEAR;
  • completed Language Centre modules that do not form part of a student’s degree programme.

Accessing HEAR

UCL Student Records are using Gradintel to provide you with a HEAR. Access and use of Gradintel services is free for students. 

Sharing a HEAR with third parties

If students wish to share their HEAR with third parties such as a prospective employer, other higher education institutions or any other third party you can do so by issuing them with a secure token. Third parties, who have a token, may view the verified HEAR and print a copy, but it should be noted that the printed version is no longer a verified record by UCL.

UCL does not have access to any information students post to the Gradintel website.

Information about HEAR and its benefits is available on the HEAR website.
