A letter of motivation (in English or German, preferably in English – two pages or 900 words maximum)
Copies of official academic transcripts and diplomas of all attended universities. Every transcript must include a transcript key (an explanation of the grading system).

The second can be issued by an academic referee or a former employer. Applicants who undergo an annual performance evaluation by their employer can replace one of the reference letters with this document. Reference letters should be on official letterhead (if applicable) and include an original signature. The Hertie School may decide to contact the referee(s) to confirm the authenticity of the issued document(s).
