What is a final degree certificate?

[WishfulThinker]

The university I'm applying to asks for two of them. I'm an international student from a non-english speaking country so I have no idea what a degree certificate is (and there's nothing named like that in what my university provides).

Can anyone please give me a brief description of what a degree certificate looks like or the information it has?

Does it say that you need a final degree certificate if you haven't graduated yet? I have a certificate that states that I completed my MA, which I was given the day I submitted my thesis, because official diplomas won't be available until next month. Could that be what they want? That's my only idea...sorry if that's not helpful. I don't know what your field is, so it's possible it could be something specific to that. I would call or email the DGS and ask. It's a perfectly acceptable question, especially since you went to a foreign university.

Yep - it's whatever piece of paper you get on completion of the program - but you won't get that until you graduate. Usually in addition to your transcript.
