Master’s degree certificates

1.  As soon as a student has completed and passed all master courses the master’s degree certificate can be applied for.

• Apply for the Master’s degree certificate before the last Friday of the month at the Programme Secretariat (see schedule below for the exact dates).
• Submit two copies of your master thesis as well as a copy of your passport (not your driver’s license).
• From the Programme Secretariat you will receive an information package. Fill in the forms to apply for the ‘Master’s degree certificate’. These forms have to be filled in at the desk. Furthermore you need to submit a digital copy of your master thesis into the University Library Thesis Database. You do not need to do this at the Programme Secretariat, but in order to graduate submitting a digital copy in the UL database is mandatory. Instructions on how to do this you will find in the information package.

2. The student’s supervisors will submit the assessment of the Master’s thesis before the fifteenth of the month following the deadline of application at the Programme Secretariat. Before the thesis will be assessed the supervisor will check the master thesis on plagiarism.

3. The Examination Board will determine about fifteen days later whether the applicant qualifies for receiving the Master’s degree at the graduation ceremony.

• For students SR the graduation ceremony will be individual or in little groups of two, three or four students.
