In the second step of the application process, you need to submit four types of documents with your application in order to be considered for admission. Please note that we only accept files in PDF file format.

1. Transcripts (Academic Records): Minimal prerequisite is a cumulative undergraduate grade point average (CGPA) of 75% or 3.00 GPA on a 4-point scale and ranking in the top 10% of the graduating class. Do not apply if you do not satisfy this requirement.
   1. a copy of your university entrance diploma,
   2. copies of all previous degrees (with certified translation, if the original language is not English or French),
   3. a certified list of all attended courses with the respective grades, including an explanation of the grading system
2. Curriculum vitae (CV): including information on your areas of interest in research, as well as any projects or publications.
3. Statement of purpose (SOP): containing your reasons for applying to the proposed program at Saarland University.
4. Letters of recommendation: A complete application must have two letters of recommendation. These will be uploaded by the referees. It is your responsibility to ensure that your referees have the information they need to provide a reference and submit it by the deadline.
   You enter the following information for each of your recommenders: name, address, phone number, institution or employer, title, and email address (referee’s institutional or professional email address). It is extremely important to enter valid email addresses of your referee. An email will be sent to your recommenders with information on how to proceed.
   Alternatively, your referees may send Saarland University the references in sealed envelopes; under no circumstances may these confidential reports be sent to the university by the applicant. If a referee has not received their notification email, please ask them to check their junk/spam folders. References should be written on institutional or professional letter-headed paper.
5. Other Qualifications (OTH): GRE Test. To better assess your skills, Saarland University advises a GRE Test (general and/or computer science). However, proof of participation in this test is not mandatory.
