Deadline autumn of 2024
If you wish to graduate during the autumn semester, you must apply for a degree certificate by 31 December 2024. Due to limited availability of staff during the holidays we recommend that you apply by 20 December 2024 to avoid any problems that can occur during the degree certificate process.
Deadline spring of 2025
If you wish to graduate during the academic year of 2024-2025, you must apply for a degree certificate by 31 July 2025. To assure that your degree certificate application can be processed as smoothly as possible (and if you wish to participate in the graduation ceremony in June), the application should be submitted by 31 May 2025. No degree certificates are handed out during the graduation ceremony.
If you apply during the period 1.6-31.7.2025, your application will not be processed during this time period/during the summer due to summer vacations. You can apply for the degree certificate during this time, but the degree certificate will be ready for you at the earliest at the end of August or September. (The date on the certificate will still be the date that you submitted your application.)
