You may save and return to your application as many times as you wish to update information, complete sections or upload supporting documents such as your final transcript or your language test. For more information about submitting documents or other topics related to applying to a postgraduate taught programme, check Frequently Asked Questions.

Required documents
Students who are in their final year may still apply. You do not need to have your final degree certificate or English proficiency test results at the time of submitting your application. Please submit your official transcripts to date.
Any offer will be conditional until you submit your final degree/English proficiency certificate at the required level. We advise these are uploaded to the (application portal) by June for time to receive an unconditional offer and apply for a visa (if required).
You will not be able to enrol on the EUROSUD programme until all required documents have been received and you have accepted an Unconditional offer.

As part of your online application, you also need to submit the following supporting documents:

• Degree Certificate - (and an official translation)

• Signed, with an electronic or wet-ink signature. A typed name is not sufficient
• References should typically be academic references but in cases where this is not possible then a reference from a current employer may be accepted instead

Unofficial references will not be accepted.

We will not accept references sent from personal email addresses or via a third-party.
