Graduation procedure
The department of Applied Physics and Science Education is taking part in a pilot to simplify the graduation procedure both for students and staff members. All students of this department, except for students of the Master’s program SE and students with a double diploma program, are taking part in this pilot. For more information about the pilot, please visit this page.
If you are a double diploma student, please follow the standard procedure.

After the EC meeting
You will receive an e-mail with the decision of the EC NF no later than three working days after their meeting.
If you need proof of your diploma before the graduation ceremony (see below), you can request a certificate of achievement from ESA central (esa@tue.nl) after the EC NF decision is visible in OSIRIS. You can also download an extract of your diploma 3 working days after the EC NF decision is visible in OSIRIS via DUO. The extract is a valid proof of your diploma.
Graduation ceremony
After you have received the decision of the EC NF, CSA AP will inform you about the graduation ceremony. In the table above (second column) you can find the date of your graduation ceremony related to your graduation request. Save this date in your agenda.
Approximately one month before the graduation ceremony, you receive an invitation via e-mail from the CSA AP. During the ceremony, you (as well as your fellow master graduates) receive your diploma in public. After the ceremony, you and your invitees are invited for drinks.
If you do not want to attend the graduation ceremony, you can collect your diploma after the graduation ceremony took place. Please contact CSA AP to make an appointment to pick up your diploma at the CSA AP office in Flux 0.124.
Terminating your enrollment
When all results of your exam program are registered in Osiris, you can terminate your enrollment from TU/e. Your enrollment will not be terminated automatically during the academic year. In order to terminate your enrollment before August 31 and receive a refund of your tuition fee, you must submit a request to that effect. The refund does not apply to the months of July and August.
