Degree certificate. The university where you completed your previous studies has to be listed as H+ in the anabin database set up by the German Ministry of Education. In case you have completed other study programs (bachelor level or higher) in addition to the mentioned studies, please also upload the respective documents (degree certificate and transcript of records). Provisional degree certificates can only be accepted in individual cases. They have to confirm clearly that the study program has been completed successfully. Usually, they have to be recently issued (not older than one year at the time of application).
Transcript of records. Please upload an official marksheet/transcript of records/list of modules and grades for all study programs you completed with a degree certificate (in addition to the degree certificate uploaded in the section above). The document has to be issued by your university and has to contain the list of all your modules and grades in all semesters/study years. The document will be rejected if pages/semesters are missing.
Certificate of work experience. Please upload proof of at least one year of work experience after completion of your bachelor’s degree. If you only have acquired the required minimum of work experience, make sure the documents submitted under “Degree certificate” and “Transcript of Records” contain the exact end date of your studies. This date will be needed to check whether you fulfill the one year requirement. Your work experience can only be proven through documents confirming that you worked for the company. A work contract or offer letter does not show that you really worked for the company. Therefore, work contracts and offer letters are not sufficient as proof of work experience. In individual cases, they can however be uploaded to add information missing in the service certificate (or similar). Internships can be considered in individual cases, but only in combination with other relevant work experience.
