Exam Transcripts
The Student Council collects transcripts of oral and written exams. Over the years we have accumulated transcripts of quite a few written exams and some oral exams. Partly with sample solution. They were written by examinees after their exam according to their memories of the exam. This way you can help future students to prepare for their exams.
Please note that we currently do not have any transcripts in english, because our english-language study programs (i.e. Data Science and Econometrics) are quite new. Please help us change that. If you took a written or oral exam, take a little bit of time afterwards to help future students.
Transcript request
Transcripts are available in digital format and will be mailed to you by us.
Please note: Since we rarely receive any new transcripts, we charge a deposit of 10€ for transcripts of oral exams. You will get the money back as soon as you submit a transcripts yourself after your exam. This should help us to increase our stock of exam transcripts. You will get more information on your request.
If you are planning to take an exam soon and would like to read old transcripts beforehand, you can request them by emailing protokollestatistik.tu-dortmundde. Please remember the following information:
- Your name
- Subject of exam
- Type of exam (oral/written)
- Examiner
- Date of exam

Other Sources
The Mathematics Department also collects transcripts of oral exams as well as old exams for their lectures. This is of course interesting for you especially for the preparation of exams in Analysis I and II.
For events of the Computer Science Department, they also provide exam transcripts, which should be especially relevant for the Data Scientists among you.
To get exam transcripts and old exams for your minor subject at other faculties it is always worthwhile to contact the corresponding student council. An overview of all student councils at TU Dortmund University can be found in the StudiWiki.
History
Until the summer of 2008, we collected these transcripts in paper form in our archives and lent them for a deposit of 5 euros (or 10 DM before the introduction of the euro) to interested parties standing before an exam for copying. We paid back this deposit when those later also handed in a transcript of their exam. It should ensure that our stock is also always supplemented by current transcripts.
On July 26, 2008, our transcript inventory, which was temporarily stored in the basement of the CDI building due to a fire protection renovation of the 7th floor, was decimated by water damage. After up to 200 liters of rain per square meter fell that day, the basement of the CDI building was flooded along with many other buildings on and around campus. Fortunately, a considerable part of the transcripts could be digitized in a halfway readable way while still wet. A small part had even been digitized before.
After this event we have changed the transcript lending to the current system. In order to make the borrowing process as fast and uncomplicated as possible for you, we waived a deposit since then. However, since we depend on transcripts to be able to offer a reasonably up-to-date inventory in the future, we reintroduced the deposit in December 2017. From now on it is again: transcripts against deposit and after submission of a transcript it will be refunded.
