Home page Applying Documents

Here is the list of required documents for different levels of studies:

Bachelor studies

Identity document (passport or ID card) – preferably valid for at least 2 more years.
For those who have already graduated from high school – Secondary school diploma. If you are still in your final year, you will need to send the diploma and supplement as soon as you receive them. The sooner you submit these, the sooner you will get your final acceptance letter (in some cases, translations of the diploma and supplement may also be required).
For those who have not yet graduated – Transcript of records. It should include the number of class hours for the last three years, final grades from grade 11, and first semester grades from grade 12.
Motivation letter (mandatory for some universities) – tips on how to write it can be found here.
Additional documents (optional) – proof of achievements related to your chosen field of study (e.g. competition certificates, completed courses, etc.).

Top-up studies:

Identity document (passport or ID card) – ideally valid for at least 2 more years.
Transcript of records with ECTS credits from your university – must include course descriptions, grades, and ECTS credits. Universities often issue transcripts in two languages (native + English). If documents are not in English, you must provide an official translation.
Motivation letter – tips on how to write it can be found here.
Recommendation letter – at least one is required (except when applying to the Netherlands). The recommendation must include the referee’s contact details. Ideally, it should be written by someone who knows you academically, but a letter from an employer is also acceptable. Guidelines for writing recommendation letters can be found here.
Additional documents (optional) – proof of achievements related to your chosen study field (e.g. competitions, completed courses, certificates).

Master’s studies

Identity document (passport or ID card) – preferably valid for at least 2 more years.
For graduates – Bachelor’s diploma with transcript. The diploma must be translated into English; the transcript usually comes in both the native language and English, so no additional translation is required.
For those still studying – Transcript of Records with ECTS credits, including course descriptions, grades, and ECTS points. If documents are not in English, an official translation must be provided. This transcript is required until you obtain your Bachelor’s diploma, which must then be submitted.
Motivation letter – tips on how to write it can be found here.
Recommendations – two recommendation letters are required. Contact details of the referees must be provided. One letter must be academic (from a professor/lecturer), the other can be from an employer. Guidelines for recommendation letters can be found here.
Curriculum Vitae (CV) – must be written in English.
English language certificate – if the university needs.
Additional documents (optional) – certificates or proof of achievements directly related to the chosen field of study (e.g., competitions, courses, projects).

Important!

The documents you submit must be either clearly scanned or photographed (all details must be easy to read).
All documents must be provided in English. If a document is not in English, an official translation is required.
Applicants to art programs may be asked to submit samples of their work or complete a specific admission assignment – you will be informed about this during the application process.
Additional documents may also be requested depending on the university and the study program.
