Depending on the country in which the documents are issued, legalisation may be necessary. Detailed information about the necessary legalisation can be found here.
The legalization must always be affixed to the original document. Documents without the required legalization cannot be considered for admission.
Language certificates do not have to be legalized.
No! Incomplete documents will result in your application being rejected. You will not be able to reapply for the same degree programme in the same semester. Therefore, do not apply until you have all documents, legalisations and proof of language proficiency.
In any case, a confirmation issued by the university must be provided that the degree program has been fully completed. As a gesture of goodwill, the university may accept a provisional certificate up to one year after graduation.
If the degree was completed more than one year ago, a final diploma must be provided. Under no circumstances will we accept provisional certificates if it has been more than one year since graduation!
No! Applications are only possible after completion of the previous studies.
