Important:

All documents related to the academic background (e.g. school leaving certificate, bachelor degree, academic transcripts, etc.) must be submitted as original certified copies. A certified copy should have an ink signature and ink stamp confirming that it is a true copy of the original. The term original certified copy means the applicant must submit the document that carries the original ink stamp and ink signature and not a photocopy or scanned printed copy of the certified copy. All certificates and transcripts not issued originally in German or English must be translated into either English or German by a recognized/sworn translator. The translation must be submitted either as original or as an original certified copy. Application documents cannot be returned, therefore please refrain from sending original academic documents such as school leaving certificate and degree certificate. After your written application has been submitted and reviewed, you may be contacted for further information or interview. Incomplete or late applications will not be taken into consideration. The submission of a complete and correct application is the entire responsibility of the applicant. Please be aware that an automatic confirmation of receipt of the application will not be given.
