Danish Postdoc Asks for "Diploma" in Application What Does That Mean?

Hi all,

I'm just trying to get a quick answer and I was hoping someone here might know. I'm looking to apply to a postdoc in denmark and it asks for the regular things (CV, cover letter, list of publications) but it also asks for "Diploma". What does that mean? Like they want a xerox of my B.Sc. and M.Sc. or something? Is that like a transcript?

If you're applying for a "postdoc" then I assume they want a pdf scan of your PhD degree certificate, also known as a Diploma. It usually has the name school name, you name and maybe a date/year and a subject.

Though depending on the job it might not be required, as many postdoc applications occur before final graduation.
