Verification of a KU degree

If you have successfully completed your studies at the KU, you can have your final degree verified. This means that the authenticity of the final degree is checked and confirmed, for example, for potential employers.

Verification requests

We process requests regarding documents submitted by graduates as copies or scans and can only determine whether an original corresponding to the submitted copy was actually issued by us to the person named on the document.

However, we do not process the following types of requests, among others:

1. Requests that require us to transmit documents or copies of documents.
2. Requests that require confirmation or transmission of information not evident from the document submitted by the graduate.
3. Requests that require us to process pre-defined forms or tables provided by third parties.

Required Documents

If you, as a graduate, wish to submit a verification request to us, please send the following two documents as attachments to your e-mail request to ExterneAnfrage-Pruefungsamt(at)ku.de with the subject line “Verification Request”:

1. The document to which your request refers.
2. The consent form for verification, completed and signed by you:

Form for the consent to the transfer of data regarding final degrees from the KU.

Verification requests from third parties

If you, as a company or institution, wish to submit a verification request regarding a graduate to us, we require the two documents mentioned above directly from the graduate. A request submitted by you or a third party that includes the documents mentioned above cannot be processed.
