Yes, you need to provide documents for all periods of your education, including any gap years, when applying for a Master's program in the UK or Ireland.

Universities expect a complete academic history - this means transcripts and certificates from all institutions attended, plus evidence for any gap periods such as employment records, volunteer work, or other relevant activities. This helps ensure transparency and allows admissions committees to assess your application holistically.

If you need guidance on which documents to submit, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
