Questions about documentation
Q: What is meant by sending/uploading certificates/degrees/language tests? Why do I need to provide those? Uploading documents means you have to scan your documents and send them to us through the Internet. This documentation will be necessary for you, to prove that you are qualified for a certain level of study that you are applying for. For example: Should you wish to apply for an MSc study, you need to show that you have a BSc diploma. Should you wish to apply for a PhD, then you have to show that you have an MSc diploma and also have the course records of the studies that you followed. Please note that it is not possible for us to take action in requesting your documents from any university. Persons in all mobility groups to Europe and to India may upload recommendation letters from the home university. Those who do NOT have rec. letters are requested to upload a document saying that they are not submitting recommendation letter, otherwise their application will be incomplete.
