You will typically need the following documents for your Master's application in Germany, the UK, or the UAE:

- Completed application form from the university
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
- Proof of language proficiency (IELTS score, usually 6.0 - 6.5; subject to change)
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) or motivation letter
- 2 - 3 letters of recommendation
- Passport copy
- Recent passport-sized photographs

For the UAE, you may also need an equivalency certificate for degrees earned outside the country.

Some programs might require additional documents like GRE/GMAT scores, a portfolio, or a research proposal. Requirements can vary by university and are subject to change.

If you have questions about your specific documents, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
