De-registration and issuing of certificates at the TH Wildau

Exmatriculation means officially end of your studies at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau. If you have finally completed your studies by successfully passing the final examination, you will be automatically de-registered by the university upon receipt of your certificate. As a rule, de-registration takes place at the end of the semester in which the certificate confirming that you have passed the final examination was issued. If you would like to apply for a job after your studies, notarised certificates are often required as your application document. The TH Wildau only notarises specially issued documents. Abroad, these are German embassies.
