Diplomas and Certificates

The Examinations Office team issues your degree documents and various other certificates for you.

Final Documents | Degree Certificate

The graduation documents are sent by registered mail. Remember, either...

  1. to change your address in HohCampus or
  2. to send your address to the Examination Office by email if you move after graduation.

However, you can also pick the documents up at the Examinations Office. Inform the Examinations Office in time if you want to pick up the documents.

If you have successfully completed all modules and the final thesis, you will be issued

  • a degree certificate
  • a certificate with an ECTS classification table (ranking)
  • a diploma supplement.

It can take from two to four weeks for the certificate to be issued.

You do not need to apply for your certificate to be issued. The Examination Office creates the certificate automatically when you have completed your studies.

Additional modules as well as the profiles in the degree programs Biology (B.Sc. and M.Sc.), Agricultural Biology, and NawaRo are automatically included in the certificate.  If this information is not to be shown on the transcript, inform the Examinations Office informally no later than the time the last grade is recorded.  Additional modules are always shown with a grade.

Note: Hohenheim does not issue preliminary certificates. Instead, use the transcript of records.

Transcript of Records

The transcript of records offers a compact overview of the progress of your studies. It lists all examinations completed with your grades.

The fastest way to access your transcript of records is using HohCampus. Access and print your current transcripts at any time (for applications or your own records).

Certificate of the Expected Completion of your Studies

Especially for the Foreigners' Office, a certificate of the expected completion of the studies is often requested.

You can receive this certificate on request (by email) from the Examinations Office. Indicate in your email when you plan to complete your studies.
