What is a certificate?

For every course that you participate in at the University of Bremen, you will receive a certificate. On this certificate, it is noted what type of class you attended, (e.g Seminar or lecture) and what type of assessment you took (e.g a Test, work at home, or an oral exam). Obviously, the mark you received is also noted on here. Please note, that you must use the form  ECTS- Leistungsnachweises [PDF] (240 KB). Fill out the form, and at the end of your course, give it to your teacher to sign. After this, take your form to the administration department of your faculty so it can be stamped. Do NOT bring it to the International Office.

Transcript of Records

Before you travel back to your home university, you must ensure that your faculty has issued you with the Transcript of Records[PDF] (266 KB). Before your department can issue this, you must submit your ECTS-Certificate. The Transcript of Records should also be stamped and sealed in your faculty department, and NOT the International Office. Without an official stamp, your certificate is not usually accepted by your home University.
