Another word to say DIPLOMA

Another word to say DIPLOMA
 
Dear ESL members
This year I have to teach some administrative vocabulary and write some administrative documents.
My question:

in Portugal at the end of the university studies students get a DIPLOMA ( same word in English) or a " carta de curso" - this is the certificate  awarded by the universities.

Is there another word in English with the same meaning of DIPLOMA?

THANKS

"Certificate of Achievement" or "Certificate of Completion" (both are more general than dilpoma though)
"degree" -this doesn �t necessarily mean the piece of paper (a diploma is a piece of paper)

Certificate (of achievement) or diploma. Sorry but I don�t know any more words for that

In the land downunder, we generally call the certificate an award or testamur because a diploma is an actual qualification level.
 
But, if you look  here you will see that diploma appears to be the commonly used term except in UK and Australia

Dear Aleia,

In my "diploma" you can see this translation : DEGREE CERTIFICATE.

Hope I could help.
