Your diploma certificate can be obtained by applying for completion of your university degree (Antrag auf Studienabschluss im Master Studiengang). You can find the form for this on the website of the Prüfungsbüro, please see here. To do so, you must present proof of having completed all 120 approved credit points according to the examination guidelines. All course and examination points should be documented completely in SLCM (formerly Campus Management). Processing takes ca. 4 weeks, and the documents will thereafter be sent to you via post. The application for degree completion is available online and must be submitted within 4 weeks after having handed in your final examination. If this final examination is your MA thesis, it is recommended to hand in the application for the completion of studies together with the thesis.

You cease being a student with your exmatriculation. The exmatriculation is treated separately from the application for the completion of studies. You can plan your own exmatriculation by requesting it for the end of the semester in which you hand in your MA thesis. Alternatively, you can demand it to take immediate effect. On a quarterly basis, the examination office automatically exmatriculates students whose completion of studies has been confirmed. With your exmatriculation you lose your status as a student.

Students will receive an examination certificate as well as an MA diploma certificate. Additionally, they will receive a diploma supplement, which includes a description of their studies, as well as an explanation of the academic and professional qualifications that the student has gained upon completion of their degree. Furthermore, a document with descriptions of the individual modules and their constitutive parts will be included. Upon request, English versions of the diploma certificate and diploma supplemental material as well as the transcript information can be made. Please speak to the Prüfungsbüro about this and not the Global History team.

For further inquiries concerning your exmatriculation, please contact either the Prüfungsbüro for the Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften department, or the Global History MA program at globalhistory@fu-berlin.de.
