Is it really required for an international applicant to have the degree completed to apply for APS certification?

Yes, for international applicants, you generally need to have completed your degree or be in your final year with all transcripts available to apply for APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certification.

- Final year students can often apply if they provide a provisional certificate and transcripts showing all completed semesters.
- Graduates must submit their final degree certificate and mark sheets.

If you have not yet completed your degree and do not have all required academic documents, your APS application may not be processed.
