Degree and degree certificate

A degree certificate is proof that you have completed a higher education programme and meet the requirements for your degree. The degree certificate holds information about the scope and content of your studies, the title of the degree and the name of the awarding higher education institution. The degree certificate includes a Diploma Supplement which describes the programme and its place in the education system. To obtain your degree certificate, you must send an application to the higher education institution where you completed your studies.

If you have studied at several higher education institutions throughout your programme, the degree certificate must be issued by the higher education institution where you completed your studies. However, this does not apply if the institutions concerned have agreed otherwise in your particular case. They may also issue a joint degree.

A course certificate is proof that you have completed a course with a passing grade. If you have passed a course, you should receive a course certificate from the university upon request.

The normal processing time for degree certificates should not exceed two months.
