News Official statement Outcome reported
  • The Technical University of Berlin can once again issue certificates after a one-week interruption.
  • The disruption occurred because the main building, housing the printing machines, was closed due to construction defects.
  • In the interim, graduates received digital certificates and transcripts to prove their qualifications.

Graduates of the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) can now receive their official certificates after a week-long suspension of the issuance process. The university announced that the regular procedure for creating and distributing final certificates has resumed.

The interruption stemmed from the relocation of the printing machines for the certificates. These machines were housed in the TU's main building, which had been closed since early May due to construction defects. This closure necessitated finding new premises for the printing operations.

During the period when certificates could not be issued, the university provided graduates with digital certificates and transcripts. These documents served as proof of their academic achievements, enabling them to apply for jobs or further studies.

The university's ability to resume issuing physical certificates marks a return to normalcy for its graduating students, ensuring they have the necessary documentation for their post-graduation endeavors.

The graduates received the documents again in the regular procedure.
