Elective qualification milestones

General Information

Documentation of acquired milestones

MAPEX curates a central list of achieved milestones for every member of the programme. Please hand in all certificates and proofs of achievements/participation via input mask.

Milestones achieved before registration to the programme will be accepted provided they have been acquired after graduation from the university degree programme, that entitles to pursue a doctorate.

A transcript of records based on this list, and a certificate of participation on the MAPEX Doctoral Qualification Programme, can be issued at any time. Please contact us directly via our email address: mapexphdprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de
