CHALLENGE II
Different requirements and the use of multiple languages lead to
• difficulty in creating clear documents meeting the demands of all national regulations
• higher effort for the translation.
Bologna, 2012-06 Dr. Muriel K. Helbig, | International Office | Bauhaus-Universität Weimar | Germany
Master's Certificate| Challenges
• requirements on the information differ widely partly certain information is required / not allowed, e.g. • personal information (birth date/place, gender, nationality) • details about the degree awarded
(total credit points, grade, duration of studies, title of thesis)
• issuance of the master's certificate in a language other than the local language or in more than two languages often problematic
• original signature and stamp are required (copy not allowed), resulting in a significant (time) effort in issuing the documents

SUMMARY
Most challenging • Knowledge of national / university-specific regulations • Personal data / codes • Grading systems
Mostly, compromises were possible
Otherwise, changes in regulations at the universities needed

CONCLUSION
• Necessary: Clear responsibilities (for the entire agreement, for the specific task, at the partner universities)
• Helpful: A set of questions to be answered by all as basis for the documents
• Unavoidable: Clear deadlines and their enforcement
