- Bachelor's degree certificate & transcript of records in original form, with certified translations into English or German (if issued in another language). In addition to credits and grades earned per course, transcripts must include a grading scale, otherwise, a supplement is to be included.
If you have not graduated yet at the time of applying, you can just upload your current grade list. In case you have studied at the master’s level already you can also include the respective documents here. They cannot replace the bachelor’s documents, they can only be considered additional to your bachelor’s degree. - Proof of English proficiency (see language requirements). Please note: language proficiency letters from universities are not accepted.
- University entrance qualification (i.e. your secondary school leaving certificate, high school diploma, A-level certificate, etc.) in original form, with certified translations into English or German (if issued in another language).
