General advices
1. Read all information at every step during the online application!
Some information might be hidden behind the small encircled blue i !
2. Not-yet-ready mandatory documents
If any of the obligatory documents are not ready when you start your application, you can upload a “dummy” file.
Best to create a pdf stating the official document is in progress. Why? If you do not upload obligatory files, you cannot go on with the application steps.
Most important: check all files before finally submitting your application.
Worst case scenario: You submit with the “dummy” files and your application gets rejected.
3. Delayed mandatory documents
Should there be reasons beyond the applicant’s control, the documents referred to above may be submitted later than May 15th.
To take chance of delayed submission, you have to inform the study program coordination not later than March 15th by email.
A pdf-file stating the reason and a prospective date of delayed submission has to be uploaded in the online application.
4. Additional Information/documents
If you want to upload additional information and you will not find a fitting upload opportunity, consider to merge pdfs together.
For example:
(a) You have recommendation letter (which we are not asking for!) -> add them to the CV in the same pdf.
(b) You have a VPD for another study program -> fuse it with your transcript or graduation certificate.
(c) .....
