Certificates were awarded during an academic ceremony.

The Dean of the Department , Prof. Dr. Peter Kneisel, welcomed the graduates and their families, as well as alumni, external guests, and faculty and staff of the Department . In his speech, he paid tribute to a pioneer in computer science: the Austrian scientist Christiane Floyd, who in 1978 became the first female professor of computer science at TU Berlin. She paved the way for the many female students that the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) now has across several Departments in this field.

To properly recognize their academic achievements, all graduates were individually called to the stage by name and received a small gift. The following students were recognized for outstanding performance: Kilian Peter Stock, Niklas Kettner, Nicole Bender, Marc Thürmer, Jasmin Lossack, Janek Berg, Jarik Karney, and Sophie Mara Schneider. They received the "1 dot 0" award in the form of a certificate.

Afterwards, graduates, alumni, guests, and faculty had the opportunity to exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere. The event, moderated by Manuel Groh, was supported by the MNI alumni association.
