Certificate for the IMPRS curriculum

After a successful PhD examination, the IMPRS-HD will issue an IMPRS certificate, which will be handed out in addition to the PhD certificate granted by Heidelberg University.

The IMPRS certificiate states that the student has successfully followed the IMPRS curriculum, and lists their thesis committee. It also specifies the lectures attended in Heidelberg and the conferences / schools a student has attended. It lists also astronomy-related courses attended at other places before. For comparison, here is the pdf of an example certificate (see also below).

After you passed your final exam, tell us asap whether you want a certificate. Please, then send us your input data (courses, thesis committee, conferences etc,  see example certificate below) - to be sent imprs-hd@mpia.de.

We will in principle trust the information provided, but we will also x-check randomly. Note that when you register for PhD examination in Heidelberg, you and your supervisor have to sign a listing of attended lectures. The same could then be forwarded to us for the IMPRS certificate.

The HGSFP supplies a similar school certificate, once adapted from the IMPRS certificate, but that is not the IMPRS certificate.
