General Information
Documentation of acquired milestones and the transcript of records
MAPEX curates a central list of achieved milestones for every member of the programme. Please hand in all certificates and proofs of achievements/participation via input mask.
Milestones achieved before registration to the programme will be accepted provided they have been acquired after graduation from the university degree programme, that entitles to pursue a doctorate.
A transcript of records based on this list, as well as a certificate of participation on the MAPEX Doctoral Qualification Programme, can be issued at any time. Please contact us directly via our email address: mapexphdprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de
