Transcript of Records from Hamburg University of Applied Sciences
At the end of your stay you can obtain a "German Transcript of Records" from "Helios" (see above).
Send a copy of this form to the
International Office
and ask for a translation towards an
"International Transcript of Records". The transcript of records should show your courses,
the amount of ECTS credits and your grades according to the ECTS.
Ask to get your translated transcript of record signed.
