Verification of Certificates

Original Certificates

Original certificates will be checked during your studies. Universities of applied sciences check the original certificates of all new admitted students registered as attending (present). Please bring all original certificates you used in the application with you when you begin your studies to secure your study place. The admission is conditional until original certificates are checked.

At the start of the studies/or during your studies the original school certificates and possible original work certificates are verified and cross-checked with the copies of the school certificates uploaded (during the application period or, attached to the confirmation of acceptance). The UAS may withdraw the admission if the admitted student has provided misleading information in the application and the correct information would not have qualified the student for admission.

Please note that you are not required to have your original certificates checked if you are accepted based on the International UAS Exam to one of the following Bachelor degree programmes: 

• Nursing
• Maritime Technology, daytime studies
• Maritime Management, Captain (daytime studies)
