Official Degree Certificate is electronic

News
TAKK will issue degree certificates electronically from the beginning of 2024. The electronic certificate will meet the challenge of digitalization and improve the reliability of the certificates. It is easy to attach to job and further study applications.

Electronic certificates are commonly used in many educational institutions. The electronic certificate is a PDF file signed by TAKK’s Rector. The electronic signature of the certificate is based on authentication issued by Digital and Population Data Services Agency which is accepted throughout the EU. The certificate conforms to the eIDAS (EU) 910/2014 regulation and fulfills the requirements for an authorized electronic signature.

The electronic certificate is the official and original certificate of which the graduates can print out paper copies if they wish.

The reform will not impact on paper certificates already issued and degree certificates issued before 1st  of January 2024 will not be changed into electronic certificates.

The change initially applies to diplomas, but gradually all certificates will be electronic.

How to get your electronic certificate?

When you complete your studies, you will receive a certificate download link in your email. The link is valid for 30 days. Download the certificate and save it to your own files in your computer, cloud service, external hard drive or memory stick. It is recommended to save the certificate in several places so you have a backup. Each unedited saved copy is an official certificate.

Certificate may not be edited. Editing breaks the electronic certificate and the verification.
