Certificates and ECTS Credits

Certificates of attendance

Refresher course participants will receive a certificate of attendance. There is no formal exam and we cannot give European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points for these courses.

For the main courses, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance before leaving the GESIS Summer School.

ECTS points

Participants have the opportunity to gain ECTS points from the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim if they follow both weeks of the summer school. Please note: Participants who follow one one-week course only will not obtain any ECTS points and cannot take part in the optional exam.

For active participation in the summer school, 3 ECTS points can be obtained. Those who also take part in the optional exam can gain further 2 ECTS points.

ECTS certificates are sent to participants after the Summer School has ended. Applicants are advised to contact their home institution to enquire about the recognition of ECTS points from the University of Mannheim.
