In case you have studied on Master’s level already you can also include the respective documents here. They cannot replace the Bachelor’s documents, they can only be considered additionally to your Bachelor’s degree.

Proof of English proficiency, as described above. Please note: language proficiency letters from universities are not accepted!

University Entrance Qualification (i.e. your secondary school leaving certificate, high-school diploma, A-level certificate, etc.) in original form, with certified translations into English or German (if issued in another language). This is needed for statistical purposes only and does not influence your admission for the program.

Ranking or recommendation letter, if additional proof is needed to show that the final grade of your previous degree was actually above average. If your GPA is numerically below average (2.5 on the German scale), then you will need to acquire a ranking document from your university proving that you were in the top half of your class.

Proof of special aptitude for the degree program if your academic background does not clearly match the admission requirements. Your special aptitude can be proven by a convincing motivation letter (use this form only, other formats will not be considered), proof of relevant work experience or other activities related to the scope of the degree program.
