Before you leave

Mobile Students

Before you leave, you should visit the International Office at your host faculty. We will have a chat about your experience, and you will also be able to collect:

• Confirmation of your stay (bring your university’s forms if they provided them)
• Transcript of Records (usually it will be sent to you by mail, as not all the marks are entered in the system at the time of your departure)
• Any other confirmation required by your university.

Degree-seeking students

Congratulations! You did it!

As soon as your defense is successfully finished, you can visit Student Services to collect the confirmation of the successful completion of your Study programme.

Don’t forget to join the Alumni to stay in touch with UP (forever).

We organize the awarding of diplomas ceremony once a year in late Spring, where you will receive your official diploma.
