Final academic record

All graduates are given a final academic record. The final academic record lists those courses for which the student selects the option "Academic record" in their degree request, up to a maximum of 130 credits. On request (option "Addendum"), other study achievements can be listed on a separate sheet accompanying the academic record. Study achievements marked with "Nowhere" on the request will disappear from the academic record entirely. The final academic record lists your major and any minors by name. The overall average grade is calculated as the weighted mean of the individual grades on the academic record. The weight attached to each individual grade is based on the number of credits assigned to the course to which it relates. Your ranking in your year of graduation (in comparison with other graduates who have received their final academic record over the last 11 months) is based on your overall average grade. Along with their final academic record, graduates also receive an English "transcript of records".

Degree certificate

Graduates receive a degree certificate (optionally in German, French or Italian) and a Diploma Supplement. The Diploma Supplement describes the courses you attended in English during your Master’s degree programme – and also, in German, the German-language courses. Your degree certificate will only mention your major.
