ECTS in Diplom and “Transcript of Records”

In the documents below you will find information in German and English about subjects in the Grundstudium (undergraduate studies) and Hauptstudium (graduate studies). These overviews can, for example, be used as a template and idea provider for constructing a transcript of records.

Transcripts in English can be validated (stamp and signature) in the international office (for example when you receive a place for an exchange program, see also Öffnet einen externen Link in einem neuen Fensterhttp://www.uni-mannheim.de/aaa/).

For all other applications (free-movers, postgraduate students, CPA examinations, Ph.D programs etc.), students and alumni of business can request verification from Jürgen Kern in the dean’s office (expenses will be incurred). Please bear in mind that we will normally need a couple of working days to process it. Please request this verification in good time before the application deadline. The transcript is to be complied by you and then along with German certificates (results, certificates etc.) to be brought to the dean’s office. Mr Kern will then check and confirm your details. Our suggestion for compiling a transcript can be found below.
