Attending Language Courses
Please refer to the HTW Foreign Language Centre to check available language courses. Each language course is worth 4 ECTS. Please note that incoming students are eligible for 1-2 language classes per semester only.
Exam Registration
Please note that all students must register for their exams, regardless of the assessment type (project, written exam, presentation, etc.). It is not possible to sit the exam and receive credits for it without registration.
Please refer to our Exam Registration Guidelines in order to learn more about the exam registration process, the respective deadlines and the importance of the registration.
In case there are some exams you cannot register for, we will send a manual registration form by e-mail. Please send it back to us within the deadline.
Transcript of Records
About 8 weeks after the end of the 1st exam period and provided that all results have been uploaded to our Student Portal (LSF) by your professors, you will be able to download a QR-Code certified Grades Overview from LSF. It is crucial that you have registered in advance for all of your exams. You will be notified by the student portal whenever one of your grades has been entered.
The International Office will send the Transcript of Records to the student and home university's coordinator by e-mail upon request. For those students who are staying at HTW Berlin for two semesters, both transcripts will be sent out only after the 2nd semester at HTW Berlin.
Please note that Language Certificates will be issued seperately.
