Completion certificates record completion
A completion certificate generally records that the programme’s completion requirements were met. Those requirements may involve attendance or assignments; the document is not the same as university credit.
Credit and grades depend on course rules
Credit-bearing courses have defined learning and assessment arrangements. Keep the syllabus, results and credit information. The receiving institution determines whether credit can be transferred.
Verify recommendations and research outputs separately
Check whether recommendations are offered, who writes them and under what conditions. Research experience can be valuable through methods, records and communication without a promised publication.
This guide provides a planning method. Verify programme-specific eligibility, fees and dates against the relevant official edition.
